 Kantaraju, presenting with reduced strength and an inability to walk without support for a year, also experienced heaviness and tingling in his lower limbs. Examination revealed decreased crude touch, two-point discrimination, and graphaesthesia, with exaggerated deep tendon reflexes. MRI identified a peripherally enhancing intradural extramedullary lesion at D8-D9, likely a calcified meningioma or sequestrated disc. He was treated with Dashamoola kashaya parisheka, Prushta basti with murivenna taila, and Matra basti with ashwagandha yamaka and sahacharadi 7 avarti, resulting in his ability to walk without support.
