Abstract
A patient with a herniated intradural disc at L2-L3 and an extradural herniated disc at L5-S1 had homogeneous enhancement of the intradural disc on magnetic resonance imaging. The only prior report of intradural disc enhancement with contrast on magnetic resonance imaging showed nonhomogeneous peripheral or ring enhancement. Magnetic resonance and computed tomography images and myelogram films are presented, with an operative photograph. Enhancement likely depends on the age of the intradural disc herniation.
