ABSTRACT
We present the rare occurrence of cauda equina syndrome resulting from posterior epidural disc fragment migration at L4-L5, documented by MRI. The female patient had previously undergone discectomy for a lumbar extruded disc at L5-S1 and a DIAMÒ (Device for Intervertertebral Assisted Motion) placement. Resolution of sensory and motor deficits were achieved.
