Intradural lumbar disc herniation--a case report.
One case of intradural lumbar disc herniation at the L3-L4 disc level with cauda equina syndrome is reported. Myelo-CT demonstrated an intradural tumor-like lesion with complete block. An intradural fragment of sequestrated disc material was found intraoperatively. Accurate preoperative diagnosis of the intradural nature of the disease and prompt surgical treatment resulted in a smooth recovery.
