Radicular Compression by extradural spinal endometriosis. Case report
This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with spinal epidural endometriosis compressing a lumbar root, detailing her clinical presentation, imaging, and surgical treatment.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
This paper reports the case of a 35-year-old woman with endometriosis located in the extradural spinal canal at the level of the left third lumbar root, extending through the corresponding foramen into the paraspinal muscles, producing radicular compression. The authors describe the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and surgical treatment, and discuss possible pathogenesis based on prior literature. A key limitation emphasized is that only histopathological examination established the correct diagnosis and allowed definitive hormonal treatment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents extradural spinal/end-root compression by spinal endometriosis and highlights diagnostic confirmation via histopathology.
