L4-5 disc herniation was detected on his radiological investigation and he was operated emergently. İntradural free fragment was found intraoperatively and his neurological deficits relieved totally. Conclusion: İntradural disc herniation should be kept in mind in operation of a lumbar disc vvhich is not correlated with clinical and radiological findings, and continuing dural and nerve root retraction difficulty after discectomy.
