  • Title: Spontaneous cervical intradural disc herniation.
    Author: Warade AG, Misra BK.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2014 May; 21(5):872-3. PubMed ID: 24210799.
    Abstract:
    Cervical intradural disc herniation (IDH) is a rare condition with very few case reports in the literature. We report a 64-year-old man who presented with sudden onset neck pain and rapidly progressing weakness in the left upper and lower limb. There was no history of trauma. MRI of the cervical spine showed a C6-C7 disc prolapse, for which he underwent a C6-C7 discectomy and fusion with bone graft through an anterior cervical approach. To our knowledge, all patients with a cervical IDH reported in the literature have a traumatic etiology. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first patient with a spontaneous cervical IDH.
