Key clinical message Spinal cord herniation is an uncommon diagnosis. There should be a high index of suspicion to diagnose spinal cord herniation when a patient presents with incomplete neurological deficits. Surgical repair of the hernia can have postoperative complications with new neurological deficits and they should be considered during the treatment. Abstract A 37‐year‐old male presented with insidious onset upper back pain and altered sensations of pain and temperature over the right half of the body below the nipple for 2 months. MRI of the thoracic spine showed an anterolateral defect (left) at the level of T2‐T3 vertebra. The defect was covered by a dural graft and the wound was closed with a drain On the 3rd postoperative day, neurological weakness progressed to paraplegia. Patient was treated by exploration and decompression of the hematoma. The deficits were completely recovered at one‐month follow‐up. Patients with spinal cord herniation and neurologic deficits when treated timely have good outcomes.
