Idiopathic transdural spinal cord herniation (ITSCH) most commonly occurs through a ventral dural defect at the midthoracic levels with a predilection to affect middle-aged females. It can have various presentations, the most common of which are Brown-Sequard syndrome and spastic paraparesis. Due to its rarity in clinical practice, the diagnosis of ITSCH can be challenging to physicians unfamiliar with this entity. We report an unusual presentation of an ITSCH in a 23-year-old female. The diagnosis was made based on the findings of the spinal cord magnetic resonance.
