KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Spinal cord herniation is an uncommon diagnosis. There should be a high index of suspicion to diagnose spinal cord herniation when a patient presents with incomplete neurological deficits. Surgical repair of the hernia can have postoperative complications with new neurological deficits and they should be considered during the treatment.
ABSTRACT: A 37-year-old male presented with insidious onset upper back pain and altered sensations of pain and temperature over the right half of the body below the nipple for 2 months. MRI of the thoracic spine showed an anterolateral defect (left) at the level of T2-T3 vertebra. The defect was covered by a dural graft and the wound was closed with a drain On the 3rd postoperative day, neurological weakness progressed to paraplegia. Patient was treated by exploration and decompression of the hematoma. The deficits were completely recovered at one-month follow-up. Patients with spinal cord herniation and neurologic deficits when treated timely have good outcomes.
