| Popis: |
Thoracic disc herniation is rare and its clinical signs differ widely fromthose of cervical and lumbar disc hernias. The anterior approach is theclassical treatment for these cases. We report a case of a 56-year-oldman who presented a T11-T12 calcified thoracic disc herniation thatrapidly progressed to paraplegia. The patient was submitted to spinalcord decompression using the Larson’s lateral extracavitary approachand completely recovered sensation and motor function. |
