Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often sufficient to distinguish lumbar disc herniations from spinal malignancies. If the herniated disc has a sequestrated fragment/s, the distinction may not be possible. Various benign and malign spinal cord lesions may show dumbbell-shape appearance on MRI but there is no reported paper for sequestrated disc fragment. We present a 49-year-old male whose lumbar MRI resembling schwannoma with dumbbell-shaped lesion but the definitive diagnosis was sequestered lumbar disc herniation.

Özet

Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) lomber disk herniasyonlarını spinal malignitelerden ayırmak için genellikle yeterlidir. Fıtıklaşmış disk sekestre fragman ya da fragmanlara sahipse bu ayrım mümkün olmayabilir. Çeşitli benign ve malign omurilik lezyonları MRG'de dambıl şeklinde bir görünüm gösterebilir ancak sekestre disk fragmanı için bildirilmiş bir yayın yoktur. Lomber MRG'sinde dambıl şekilli lezyonu ile schwannomu düşündüren ancak kesin tanısı lomber disk herniasyonu olan 49 yaşında bir erkek olguyu sunduk.
