Resumen

La hernia medular idiopática es una causa muy poco frecuente de mielopatía, siendo todavía más rara la existencia de una recidiva tras un correcto tratamiento. La herniación se produce a través de un defecto dural en la cara anterior de la duramadre a nivel de la columna torácica, por causas no bien establecidas. La cirugía debe liberar la médula, corrigiendo la alineación de la médula e intentando prevenir la recidiva de este cuadro. Presentamos el caso de una mujer con clínica de síndrome de Brown-Séquard consecuencia de una herniación medular a nivel D5, y que tras una primera cirugía exitosa presentó una recidiva de la herniación tras un traumatismo mínimo.

Abstract

Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare cause of thoracic myelopathy and its recurrence is even more infrequent. Cord herniation is through an anterior dural defect in thoracic spine with unknown causes. Symptomatic cases must be surgically treated to reduce the hernia and seal the defect to prevent recurrences. We report a patient presenting a Brown-Séquard syndrome secondary to a D5 spinal cord herniation treated successfully and its posterior traumatic recurrence.
