摘要

A 44-year-old female patient was alright till two years back when she noticed insidious onset of decreased pain sensation of the whole of right lower limb. She did not have any motor weakness, back ache, bladder symptoms or altered gait at that time. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord at this time was interpreted as disc herniation in the cervical region and she was managed conservatively. Over the next 2 years she developed gradually progressive weakness of the distal muscles of the left lower limb and later involving proximal muscles. This was followed by urgency of micturition, with preserved bladder sensations. She was subsequently investigated with an MRI that revealed a thoracic spinal cord herniation Case Report A 44-year-old female patient was alright till two years back when she noticed insidious onset of decreased pain sensation of the whole of right lower limb. She did not have any motor weakness, back ache, bladder symptoms or altered gait at that time. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord at this time was interpreted as disc herniation in the cervical region and she was managed conservatively. Over the next 2 years she developed gradually progressive weakness of the distal muscles of the left lower limb and later involving proximal muscles. This was followed by urgency of micturition, with preserved bladder sensations. Her past history was unremarkable except for hypothyroidism for which she was on treatment. Neurological examination revealed scoliosis of the lower dorsal and lumbar spine. There were signs of pyramidal dysfunction in the left lower limb in the form of spasticity, brisk reflexes and extensor plantar response, in addition to motor power of grade 4/5 distally and proximally. Vibration sense was impaired on left side till D10 level and position sense was impaired in the left foot. There was a 50% impairment of pain and temperature was on the right side till D4 spinal segmental level. There was no pain, tenderness or gibbus deformity of the spine. Other systemic examinations were normal. Laboratory investigations showed normal blood counts, ESR and serum biochemistry. She was subsequently investigated with an MRI (Fig 1 & 2) that revealed a thoracic spinal cord herniation
