Abstract
Context: A previously healthy 40-year-old woman experienced a sudden complete tetraplegia (C8, AIS-A).
Findings: MRI revealed a C6/C7 disc herniation surrounded by an epidural haematoma.
Conclusion/clinical relevance: Physicians must recognize acute, non-traumatic disc herniation as a potential cause of spinal cord injury, urging prompt diagnosis and intervention.
