The goal of this article is to report our experience on @entity890 , consider the causes of this pathology, and analyze it from clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic perspectives with a particular emphasis on the role of @entity7994 in preoperative diagnosis. We analyzed nine @entity1 treated surgically for intradural lumbar disc @entity547 . All of them underwent surgery, and hemilaminectomy was performed. In six cases, the diagnosis of intradural herniation was definitive and, in the three remaining, it was confirmed at surgery. In five cases, CT (with no contrast medium) of the lumbar area revealed disc herniation, but none could it confirm its intradural location. Myelography was performed in two cases but also could not prove intradural extrusion. Magnetic resonance imaging study was used in four cases. In five, the postoperative outcome has been excellent. @entity1 6 and 9 recovered anal function postoperatively; @entity1 6 suffered from occasional and mild micturition urgency. The three @entity1 previously operated (1, 2, 7) showed good outcome. Presently, we believe that radiologic diagnosis of intradural herniation is possible in carefully selected @entity1 , thanks to @entity7994 with @entity2287 .
