Abstract:
Posterior epidural migration of herniated lumbar disc fragments is a rare pathological entity. This can lead to major neurological deficits. Here, we present a rare case of sequestrated lumbar disc fragment migration into the epidural space. A 49-year-old-man presented with severe low back pain and weakness of the long extensor muscle of the hallux. MRI of the lumbar spine revealed posterior epidural lesion at the L4-L5 level. The disc fragment was isointense on T1 and T2-weighted Images (WI). The mass lesion was removed after decompressive laminectomy. Pathological investigation revealed an intervertebral disc fragment. The patient\'s condition improved postoperatively.

腰椎间盘突出后硬膜外移位是一种罕见的病理实体。这可能导致严重的神经功能缺损。这里,我们提出了一个罕见的情况下,隔离的腰椎间盘碎片迁移到硬膜外腔。一名49岁的男子表现出严重的下背痛和长伸肌无力。腰椎MRI显示L4-L5水平的硬膜外后部病变。椎间盘碎片在T1和T2加权图像(WI)上是等强度的。减压椎板切除术后切除肿块。病理检查显示椎间盘碎片。术后患者病情好转。
