  AUTHORS: Murat Aydin, Emrah Akçay, Alattin Yurt

  KEYWORDS: Disc Herniation, Thoracic Spine, T1-2 Level, Surgery

  JOURNAL NAME: International Journal of Clinical Medicine, Vol.5 No.8, April 17, 2014

  ABSTRACT: Backround: The English literature contains very few reports on disc herniation at upper thoracic levels. This report presents a patient with T1-2 disc herniation who underwent successful surgery. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old female presented that the right T1 root was compressed by foraminal disc herniation at the T1-2 level. Conclusion: The anterior approach is an easy and appropriate method to treat central and foraminal disc herniation of the thoracic spine.
