| Description | Intradural lumbar disc herniation is a rare complication of disc disease. The mechanism by which a herniated disc tears the dura matter remains unknown. The preoperative diagnosis of an intradural lumbar disc herniation is still difficult. We report our experience dealing with a case of intradural lumbar disc herniation at level L3/4 in a 34-year-old man. Based on current experience, we found that attachment of the ventral dura to the posterior longitudinal ligament can be a favorable factor indicating intradural lumbar disc herniation. One should pay attention to those with cauda equina syndrome, as it can thereby promptly suggest a preoperative diagnosis of intradural lumbar disc herniation. Surgeons need to avoid omitting intraoperative lesions by palpating the dura mater during surgery for suspected tumor cases. |
