Abstract

Objective: To report a case of disc herniation at T1-2. Clinical presentation: A 57-year-old man presented with hand weakness, Horner's syndrome, and pain radiating along the medial aspect of one upper extremity. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated extruded T1-2 disc herniation with upward herniation of a sequestrated fragment. Intervention: An anterior approach was used to excise the disc, that was compressing the spinal cord and the T1 nerve root. All the patient's symptoms resolved completely, including Horner's syndrome. Conclusion: Anterior discectomy may be the simplest and most effective method for disc excision and relief of spinal cord and T1 nerve root compression.
