case_images: The swelling was seen at a distance from the dura with a definite segment of normal looking nerve root in between (Fig. 2A). Fluffy disc like materials came out from n between the nerve fibres (Fig. 2B).
case_images: A- The material excised from the nerve root. BHistopathology of the specimen confirms it to be degenerated intervertebral disc with characteristic cell clusters
