case_images: (a) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the sagittal T2 sequence showing disc herniation L1-L2 associated superiorly heterogeneous irregular image. (b) MRI in the sagittal T1 gadolinium sequence showing herniated disc contrast enhancement in generating image "hawksbill." (c) MRI axial T2 sequence with irregular hyperintense left image promoting spinal cord compression. (d) MRI axial T1 sequence with gadolinium irregular impregnation of the herniated content.

case_images: The lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed with/without contrast showed an extradural/intradural L1-L2 disc herniation (e.g., showing a "hawksbill" and other signs), resulting in significant spinal cord compression [Figure 1].
case_images: (a and b) Intraoperative images that observed an exposure durotomy in the herniated content and its resection, and arthrodesis of the L1-L2 segment.
