Intradural Disc Herniation and Epidural Gas: Something More Than a Casual Association?

The potential presence of an intradural disc herniation must always be considered when performing an open discectomy on a patient whose CT scan study shows the presence of epidural gas. This association is particularly striking given the relative rarity of intradural herniations and intraspinal gas. In the event that no clear disc herniation was found, an intradural examination may be indicated to justify clinical signs and symptoms or previous radiologic studies.

Introduction:Intradiscal gas generated from degenerative disc phenomena is called vacuum or pneumodisc. It is mainly caused by primary intervertebral osteochondrosis. It has a high prevalence in elderly population. The migration of this gas to the spinal canal can generate cord or root compression and result in radiculalgia or canal stenosis. We describe two cases of radicular pain due to aerial pseudocyst diagnosed and treated in our center and review the available reports. Conclusion:The radicular pain originated by epidural gas-containing pseudocyst is an unusual diagnosis, for which there is no consensus regarding the diagnosis methods and its treatment. We consider computed tomography to be the most specific study and we suggest surgical resolution by decompression and microreseccion of the cyst when conservative treatment is not effective.

“…The location of lesion was appeared in various areas of the lumbar spine. We classified the lesion into locations of level and compression type in previous studies including our cases [1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] . The compression to neural tissues type was divided into three types: canal (central to paracentral), foraminal and extraforaminal.…”

Intradiscal vacuum phenomenon is commonly shown in radiographic studies of the degenerative spine. In terms of pathophysiology, intradiscal gas migrates to the epidural space, and then it could compress neural tissues and lead to severe radicular pain and/or neurologic deficits. Herein, we report two patients with lumbar radiculopathy resulting from gas-containing pseudocysts at the L5-S1 space, including our treatment and literature review. One patient had been underwent L5-S1 partial laminectomy and removal of the gas-containing pseudocyst, and the other underwent right selective L5 root block. After the procedures, they didn't have any remarkable complaints. In the present study, we suggest that surgical decompression may be effective in patients who were untreatable with conservative treatment.

CT of extraforaminal disc herniation with associated vacuum phenomenon

Abstract: Lumbo-sacral extraforaminal disc herniation with spinal nerve compression is a well recognized entity. The diagnosis is difficult, however, and the true incidence therefore unknown. We report a case where CT was diagnostic.
