Intradural Disc Herniation at L5-S1 Mimicking an Intradural Extramedullary Spinal Tumor: A Case Report
Intradural lumbar disc herniation is a rare pathological entity. The pathogenesis of intradural lumbar disc herniation is not known clearly. Intradural disc herniations usually occurred at the L4-L5 levels but have also been reported at other levels. However, intradural disc herniation at L5-S1 is quite rare. There are approximately nine reports in the English literature of intraradicular disc ...

متن کاملCauda equina tumor mimicking an intradural disc herniation, with emphasis on differential diagnosis--a case report.
We report a rare case of lumbar disc prolapse with intradural schwannoma at the same level. A 33-year-old man had had moderate right leg pain for about four years, which had worsened suddenly when he lifted heavy baggage. MR imaging revealed lumbar disc prolapse at L4/5. An intradural tumor that was iso-intense on T1-weighted and slightly hyperintense on T2-weighted images was also recognized a...
متن کاملIntradural extramedullary spinal hydatidosis: case report.
The parasitic tapeworm Echinococcus granulosis causes hydatid disease, which is rarely encountered in nonendemic regions. It is a progressive disease with serious morbidity risks. Rarely, these cysts are found in the spine. They are mainly found epidurally, originating from direct extension from pulmonary, abdominal or pelvic infestation. Nevertheless, the main mechanism for intradural involvem...
