P G Bernad, V P Perlo

    Neurology
    |May 1, 1980

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A foraminal osteophyte compressing the T1 spinal root caused chest pain and Horner syndrome in a healthy man. This case highlights a rare cause of thoracic radiculopathy and associated neurological deficits.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Spinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Thoracic radiculopathy can present with diverse symptoms.
    • Horner syndrome is a distinct neurological condition affecting the face and eye.

    Observation:

    • A previously healthy male experienced burning chest wall and arm pain.
    • He also presented with ipsilateral Horner syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Extensive investigations identified a foraminal osteophyte as the cause.
    • The osteophyte was impinging on the left T1 spinal root.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering spinal nerve root compression in thoracic pain presentations.
    • Foraminal osteophytes can lead to significant neurological deficits, including Horner syndrome.
    • Early diagnosis and targeted intervention are crucial for managing such conditions.
