Cervical intradural disc herniation: A systematic review

Intradural disc herniation (IDH) is a rare condition for which diagnosis and treatment are challenging. In 1942, the first intradural disc rupture case, which involved the lumbar spine, was reported by Dandy. Subsequently, cases of cervical and thoracic intradural disc herniation have been described [1,2,3]. Cervical IDH (CIDH) is the least common and accounts for approximately 3% of all intradural herniations, whereas IDH in the thoracic and lumbar spine account for 5% and 92% of the cases, respectively [4,5].
