ABSTRACT
Spontaneous herniation of the spinal cord is a very rare. It's clinical symptom presents with progressive myelopathy. A 42-year old male patient who presented the progressive left leg weakness and Brown-Seqaurd syndrome is presented. MRI showed a typical finding of dural defect and herniation of the cord on the level of T3-4. Repair of dural defect using an artificial dura and reposition of cord herniation were undertaken after three level laminectomies with SSEP monitoring. Postoperatively, symptoms were improved rapidly. In our knowledgement,this is first case being reported in Korea. This entity, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of myelopathy in the absence of a mass lesion.
