Summary

1. The literature concerning intrathecal herniation of intervertebral discs is briefly reviewed. 2. A case of an intrathecal herniation of a cervical disc with transitory paraplegia and a following Brown-Sequard-Syndrome is reported. 3. Laminectomy disclosed a rotation of the cord and a sequestrated disc embedded in the anterior substance of the cord. 4. A trauma of the cervical spine 8 years ago seem to be responsible for the progredient protrusion of the cervical disc. 5. Adhaesions between the dura mater and posterior longitudinal ligament in this case are regarded as origin of intrathecal herniation.

Zusammenfassung

1. Anhand der zugänglichen Literatur wird ein Überblick über die intradurale Sequestration von Diskushernien gegeben. 2. Es wird über einen Fall einer intraduralen Sequestration einer zervikalen Diskushernie mit passagerer Paraplegie und einem Brown-Séquard-Syndrom berichtet. 3. Intraoperativ fand sich eine Torsion des zervikalen Rückenmarkes, in das sequestrierte Diskusanteile eingebettet waren. 4. Ein HWS-Trauma acht Jahre zuvor wird als auslösendes Moment der fortschreitenden Protrusion betrachtet. 5. Ursache der intraduralen Sequestration sind vermutlich Verwachsungen zwischen Dura mater und dem Ligamentum longitudinale posterius.
