- Abstract
Intradural disc herniation of an intervertebral disc is a rare occurrence. The clinical presentation varies in severity and a high level of suspicion is necessary to determine the diagnosis. This is a case report of an intradural disc herniation in a young male. A review of the literature identifying the pathophysiologic mechanisms of intradural disc herniation, diagnostic imaging techniques, and treatment is presented.
