Abstract:
STUDY DESIGN: A case report. OBJECTIVES: To report a case of cauda equine syndrome due to a lumbar intradural disc herniation. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: IDH is rare but there is a higher incidence of neurologic deficit in IDH. Therefore, it should be treated immediately. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 34-year-old male patient was presented with cauda equina syndrome due to a lumbar intradural mass and underwent surgical excision. RESULTS: Operative findings and the histologic study revealed an intradural disc herniation. CONCLUSIONS: IDH is very rare lesion but should be considered in a differential diagnosis if preoperative MRI demonstrates an intradural lesion.
