    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Thoracic disc herniation is an uncommon spinal condition.
    • This case represents a potentially unique instance of two-level herniation at T6-7 and T7-8.

    Observation:

    • A 41-year-old male presented with symptoms of thoracic disc disease.
    • Diagnostic imaging included myelography with metrizamide and computed tomographic (CT) scanning.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with a rare two-level thoracic disc herniation.
    • Surgical excision of the herniated discs was performed using a posterolateral approach.

    Implications:

    • This case may be the first reported instance of a two-level thoracic disc herniation.
