Cervical Intradural Disc Herniation: Understanding Pathophysiology and Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
Intradural disc herniation (IDH) is a rare type of intervertebral disc herniation. It is more common in lumbar region (>90%), however, it has also been known to occur in cervical spine, accounting for less than five percent of cases [1]. The first published case of cervical IDH dates back to 1959 by Morega [2]. To our best knowledge, 35 total cases of cervical are reported following database searches although is likely that these are under-reported [2-7]. There is a slight male predominance in the published case reports (19/35) and the average presenting age is approximately 45 years old [5-7]. The commonest site of IDH in cervical spine is described as C5/6 and C6/7 [3].

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 کاملIntradural disc herniation at the T1-T2 level.
Intradural disc herniations comprise 0.26-0.30% of all herniated discs. Five percent are found in the thoracic, 3% in the cervical, and 92% in the lumbar region. Although intradural disc herniation may be suspected on preoperatively made CT scans, myelograms, and MRI scans, establishing the diagnosis prior to the surgery is difficult. We present a case of the patient with severe neurological de...

Background and Importance: Disk sequestration can be defined as a herniated disk with perforation of the fibrous ring (or outermost annulus fibrosus) and posterior longitudinal ligament with migration of the disk fragment to the epidural space. Even after the introduction of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it is still frequently misinterpreted as neoplastic masses. U...
