Posterior Epidural Migration of a Sequestrated Lumbar Disk Fragment Causing Cauda Equina Syndrome in an Old Patient: A Case Report
Disk fragment relocation is commonly limited to the anterior epidural space, although posterior epidural movement of a sequestrated disk piece to the posterior epidural space is infrequent. We present an uncommon case of dorsal extradural sequestration of lumbar disk herniation. A 77-year-old man presented with severe leg pain, low back pain, and urinary incontinence. Deep tendon reflexes were ...
متن کاملPosterior epidural migration of sequestered lumbar disc fragment causing cauda equina syndrome.
Posterior epidural migration of free disc fragments is rare, and posterior migration of the free fragments causing cauda equina syndrome is exceptionally rare. This report describes a 53-year-old man with disc fragment extrusion at the levels of L3-4 and a 54-year-old man with disc fragment extrusion at L5-S1 intervertebral space. The patients responded well to the operative therapy with comple...
متن کاملSpinal Epidural Abscess Causing Cauda Equina Syndrome: A Case Report
We present the case of a patient with low back pain who rapidly progressed to cauda equina syndrome due to an extended epidural abscess of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine. The patient was successfully treated with surgical decompression through laminectomies at L1, L3 and L5 levels and surgical drainage of the epidural pus. Six-week course of intravenous antibiotic therapy followed. At 6-...
متن کاملPosterior epidural migration of a sequestrated lumbar disk fragment: MR imaging findings.
We present a 75-year-old man who, for 2 weeks, had progressive pain in both of his thighs when standing straight. MR imaging showed a sequestrated disk fragment, which had a signal intensity similar to that of a herniated disk with a rim enhancement in the posterior epidural space and a ruptured outermost annulus of the intervertebral disk at L2-3. Awareness of these MR imaging findings can hel...
متن کاملPosterior Epidural Migration of Sequestrated Cervical Disc Fragment: Case Series
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was undertaken to delineate the characteristics of non-traumatic sequestrated epidurally migrated cervical disc prolapse. PURPOSE To present first case series of eight such cases diagnosed preoperatively and to discuss their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics and their management. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Non-traumatic spontaneous migration of ...
