Unveiling the Current Understanding of Idiopathic Spinal Cord Herniation: A Systematic Review

Background: Idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) is a rare condition that is characterized by ventral herniation of the spinal cord through a defect in the dura mater into the epidural space, with no identifiable cause. ISCH is frequently underdiagnosed, and the information available in case reports is limited. To provide an overview of the clinical manifestations and diagnosis of this condition, this study aims to conduct a review of reported cases of ISCH.
