Article Synopsis
- The case discusses a rare condition called idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH), where the spinal cord protrudes through a defect in the protective dural layer, previously linked to cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
- Advanced imaging techniques, specifically CISS, effectively highlighted the herniated spinal cord in the patient.
- Following surgical intervention to reposition the herniated cord and repair the dural defect using a collagen graft, the patient has shown significant improvement with no recurrence of symptoms for 8 months.
