Abstract

The authors present a case of a 38-year-old patient with progressive Brown-Sequard neurodeficit. Idiopathic spinal cord herniation at the spine level Th5 was identified as the main cause.

Surgical reposition of the spinal cord and closure of the dural defect led to gradual clinical improvement. Improvement was observed in clinical as well as electrophysiological picture.
