Multilevel thoracic disk herniations are rare, with only three cases identified in a review of 680 myelograms. This study analyzes these rare cases and discusses diagnostic imaging for this perplexing spinal disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Thoracic disk herniation presents diagnostic challenges.
  • The incidence of thoracic disk herniation is variably reported between 0.15% and 1.8% of all disk herniations.
  • Multilevel thoracic disk herniations are exceptionally rare and underrepresented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A retrospective review of 680 myelograms was conducted.
  • Only three cases of multilevel thoracic disk herniations were identified.
  • These cases highlight the rarity of the condition.

Findings:

  • The study analyzes three unique cases of multilevel thoracic disk herniations.
  • Diagnostic imaging modalities were evaluated for their effectiveness.
