High thoracic disc herniation. 1986

A M Alberico, and K S Sahni, and J A Hall, and H F Young

A case of T-1, T-2 disc herniation is reported. The patient presented with diminished hand strength, medial arm and shoulder pain, and medial arm, forearm, and hand paresthesias. After surgical decompression and removal of a disc fragment, the patient made a complete recovery. Routine cervical myelography was considered inadequate in view of this patient's symptoms. High thoracic myelography followed by computed tomographic scanning should be considered for patients with this presentation. Improved diagnosis with myelography and computed tomography is discussed.
