In the lumbar disc herniations, the case of the canal mice that the nucleus runs into the spinal canal or into the intervertebral foramen is very rare.We reported the case of a man of 23 year-old who developed suddunly the paralysis of bilateral lower extremities after he sat coughing in a chair. And he recovered enough to walk by himself by the decompression's operation.In this case, the nucleus that starts at IV/V lumbar intervertebral disc runs into the height of the middle part of III lumbar vertebral body. And extripated uncleus was about 6×2 cm and 1.5g. And its histological finding was the fibrous cartilage.In this case, it is important that we differentiate fully the metastatic carcinoma, the tumor, the obstruction of anterior spinal artery and the malformation of spinal vessels. We can expect good prognosis by making a precise diagnosis by liquor, myelogram and discogram and also by operating the removal and decompression early.
