    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Thoracic disc herniation is uncommon due to the thoracic spine's limited mobility.
    • This report details a rare case of first thoracic disc protrusion, with only 12 prior documented instances.

    Observation:

    • The disc protrusion consistently occurs laterally, leading to radiculopathy.
    • Associated symptoms like Horner's syndrome are occasionally observed.
    • Preceding trauma is an infrequent preceding factor.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the herniated disc.
    • A posterior surgical approach is utilized for disc removal.
    • Positive patient outcomes are generally achieved post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare spinal pathologies in differential diagnoses.
    • Suggests surgical intervention as an effective treatment for thoracic disc protrusions.
    • Informs surgical planning and prognosis for this rare condition.
