Although back pain during pregnancy is common, lumbar disc herniation is reported in only one in approximately 10,000 pregnancies, and 2% of lumbar disc herniations are leading to severe and/or progressive neurologic deficits. This case is a lumbar disc herniation who presented during pregnancy with profound neurological deficits which was managed with surgery and focus on the presentation, safety of imaging, positioning and anesthesia as well as the maternal and fetal' outcome. Physicians should be aware that neurological deficit can occur during pregnancy. They should be diagnosed and treated promptly without considering the stage of gestation. Pregnancy is not a contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), anesthesia, and surgical disc excision. Surgery appears warranted in patients who present with a severe and/or progressive neurological deficit secondary to a lumbar disc herniation.
