ABSTRACT

Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare diagnosis. The differentiation of spinal cord herniation from arachnoid cyst is important. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is helpful for the diagnosis. We report a patient with lumbar spinal stenosis and an idiopathic spinal cord herniation at the thoracic level.
