Ventral spinal cord herniation is a rare pathology, caused by a dural defect, that leads to progressive myelopathy. The true prevalence of ventral spinal cord herniation is unknown largely because of underdiagnosis due to its nonspecific symptoms. Though there are theories that attempt to describe how these dural defects are formed, the true causes of these defects are unknown. In this case report, we present a case of a 29-year-old female who had an idiopathic ventral spinal cord herniation causing an intradural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage. This is the first reported case of spinal cord herniation causing hemorrhage.
腹侧脊髓疝是一种罕见的病理情况,由硬脊膜缺损引起,可导致进行性脊髓病。腹侧脊髓疝的真实患病率尚不清楚,主要是因为其症状不具特异性,容易漏诊。尽管有理论试图描述这些硬脊膜缺损是如何形成的,但这些缺损的真正原因尚不清楚。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名29岁女性的病例,她患有特发性腹侧脊髓疝,导致硬脊膜内血肿和蛛网膜下腔出血。这是首例报告的脊髓疝导致出血的病例。
