Idiopatic spinal cord herniation: a treatable cause of Brown-Séquard syndrome
Acta Neurochir (Wien).
2002 Apr.
Abstract
We report two cases of thoracic idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) focusing on the peculiar diagnostic and therapeutic issues posed by this rare disorder. In particular MR evaluation of CSF dynamic with a 2D PC cine-MR technique and demonstration of progressive cord herniation on consecutive MR examinations allowed insight on the differential diagnosis and pathophysiological mechanisms of ISCH.
