Dorsal migration of lumbar disc fragments causing cauda equina syndromes: A three case series and literature review.

Conclusion: Dorsal migration of sequestered lumbar disc fragments is exceedingly rare, and these lesions are frequently misdiagnosed as extradural masses of other origin or epidural hematomas. Here and in the literature, prompt epidural decompression both confirmed the correct diagnosis and resulted in excellent outcomes. PMID: 32754350 [PubMed]
