A 51 year old man presented with painful extensor spasms of his right leg with every orgasm during sexual intercourse. He had altered sensation in his left leg to pain and temperature, and he tended to drag his right leg when jogging. Magnetic resonance imaging of his spine showed a hernia of the spinal cord at T1/T2. His symptoms resolved after exposure of the dural defect and repair of the hernia.
