| Title | First Description of an Intradural Disc Herniation at the C7-T1 Level. | | Author(s) | Woischneck D, Schmitz B, Kapapa T | | Institution | Klinik für Neurochirurgie, Klinikum Landshut. | | Source | Z Orthop Unfall 2009 Sep; 147(5):600-602. | | Abstract | 41 cases of cervical intradural disc herniation have been reported in the literature, none at the C7-T1 level. We describe a case of myelopathy after a fall. The female patient suffered an ataxia of the legs in combination with unilateral C8 cervicocephalgia and hypaesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a space-occupying lesion at C7-T1, so we suspected a tumour. After a dorsolateral approach, an intradural disc herniation was found. Six months after the operation, the patient is free of complaints. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
