Intradural lumbar disc herniations are unusual
clinical pictures. The purpose of this paper is to
discuss the incidence, clinical presentation,
imaging and surgical management of intradural
lumbar disc herniation. We present the cases of
intraradicular herniated lumbar disc and intradural
herniated lumbar disc as a special part of
degenerative disc diseases. Since no extradural
extruded disc fragment observed, intradural
exploration must added to routine approach. All
patients completely recovered after the surgery.
Although preoperative imaging studies may not
help us in the diagnosis of lumbar intradural disc
herniation, the rare condition of intradural
penetration of extruded disc should be kept in mind
to explore the intradural compartment.
