Résumé
Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare but important and increasingly recognised cause of myelopathy seen in the thoracic spine. The factors that contribute to the aetiology of the condition and of the dural defect through which the cord herniates remain under debate. We discuss the clinical features and proposed pathophysiology of the condition, and illustrate key imaging findings on MRI, fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT) myelography to establish the diagnosis, and discuss relevant differential diagnoses. Awareness and recognition of the condition is key as surgical intervention can improve outcomes for patients.
