✓ Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is frequently idiopathic. The authors report on a patient presenting with symptomatic intracranial hypotension caused by a transdural calcified thoracic disc herniation. Cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed classic signs of intracranial hypotension, and a combination of spinal MR and computerized tomography myelography confirmed a mid-thoracic transdural calcified herniated disc as the cause. The patient was treated with an epidural blood patch and burr hole drainage of the subdural effusion on two occasions. Postoperatively the headache resolved and there was no neurological deficit. Thoracic disc herniation may be a cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

✓ Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) may result from occult leaks anywhere along the neuraxis. Although this syndrome has been recognized over the past 10 years in the neurology and radiology literature, the typical magnetic resonance (MR) imaging picture and clinical course are less well known to neurosurgeons. The authors describe the case of a patient with positional headache and MR imaging findings typical of SIH that resulted from an intradural disc herniation.

Abstract A case of intradural herniation of a thoracic disc in a patient with a flaccid paraplegia is described. Intradural herniation of a thoracic disc is considered a rare event. A review of the relevant patient literature revealed 14 other reports involving 28 patients. No other report has described a patient with an intradural thoracic disc herniation who developed a flaccid paraplegia.
