Abstract:
We have experienced 2 patients with dorsally migrated sequestrated lumbar disc herniation with cauda equina syndrome and obtained a complete motor and sensory recovery after early decompressive laminectomy and discectomy with or without fusion in all cases. The purpose of this paper is to report two unusual cases of lumbar disc herniation that we experienced, and to emphasize the importance of early decompressive surgery for the treatment of cauda equina syndrome accompanied with dorsally migrated sequestrated lumbar disc herniation.
