BACKGROUND The case report detailed an unusual presentation of an iatrogenic dorsal cord herniation at the level of the thoracic cord after insertion of an epidural catheter 8 months before presentation to the neurosurgical clinic. OBSERVATIONS Only 13 cases of iatrogenic dorsal cord herniation, most of which occurred after spinal surgery, have been described in the literature. This was the first case of a spinal cord hernia described after the insertion of an epidural catheter. In this case study, the authors described a 38-year-old man who presented with progressive lower limb weakness, sensory deficits, perianal numbness, and urinary/fecal incontinence. He was diagnosed with a spinal cord hernia that reherniated after an initial sandwich duroplasty repair. Definitive repair was made after his re-presentation using an expansile duroplasty. LESSONS In patients with previous spinal instrumentation who present with neurological symptoms, spinal cord herniation should be considered a likely differential despite its rarity. In this case, a simple duroplasty was insufficient to provide full resolution of symptoms and was associated with recurrence. Perhaps a combination of graft and expansile duroplasty may be used for repair, especially when associated with a tethered cord and in the presence of significant adhesions.
