Case Description: A 63-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of mild to moderate pain in the left arm, weakness 4/5 in the left arm C5-C6 distribution, and a loss of the left biceps reflex response. Although the MR study was read as showing a C5-C6 level probable spinal meningioma, this proved to be a sequestrated disc fragment at surgery. Conclusion: Rarely, cervical disc herniations may be misdiagnosed on MR studies as spinal meningiomas.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/4e344f75-0691-48fe-b3e6-d578bcaadd9b/featured/hero-1781562127547.png","publishDate":"2021-08-16T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_697_2021","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/11040/SNI-12-415.pdf"}
