  • Title: Intradural migration of sequestrated disc fragment during decompression of cauda equina.
    Author: Bloom B, Maurice-Williams R.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2007 Aug; 21(4):417-8. PubMed ID: 17676467.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a man who underwent urgent surgery to relieve compression of the cauda equina caused by a large L4/5 disc protrusion. A post-operative but not pre-operative MRI scan showed appearances suggestive of intradural migration of a disc fragment, confirmed at re-operation. We believe that this event happened during the first operation and not before it.
