This study details a rare case of thoracic intervertebral disc herniation at D3-4. Surgical removal was successful, relieving spinal cord compression and neurological symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Intervertebral disc herniation typically affects lumbar and cervical regions.
  • Thoracic disc herniations are uncommon, especially at the D3-4 level.

Observation:

  • A calcified, extruded disc herniation was identified at the D3-4 level.
  • The herniation caused posterolateral and medial displacement.
  • This led to compression of the anterior spinal cord.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with pareto-spastic neurological signs due to spinal cord pressure.
  • Surgical intervention involved posterior approach for herniation removal.
  • The operation resulted in successful decompression and symptom relief.

Implications:

  • Highlights the possibility of rare thoracic disc herniations.
  • Demonstrates the efficacy of surgical treatment for such conditions.
  • Emphasizes the importance of considering uncommon spinal pathologies in neurological assessments.
