IDIOPATHIC SPINAL CORD HERNIATION
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare diagnosis. The differentiation of spinal cord herniation from arachnoid cyst is important. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is helpful for the diagnosis. We report a patient with lumbar spinal stenosis and an idiopathic spinal cord herniation at the thoracic level.
