Intradural Herniated Lumbar Disc

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1969
UPTURE of the intervertebral disc in the lumbar spine most often occurs to one or the other side of the strong posterior longitudinal ligament. Rarely the central part of the ligament itself is perforated. Even more rare is the observation that the disc material has ruptured through the anterior aspect of the spinal dura and is displaced intrathecally.
