Abstract
A case of symptomatic herniation at the 1st thoracic disc level was reported. The patient presented with hand weakness, Horner''s syndrome and pain radiating along the medial aspect of the upper extremity. Myelography demonstrated a smooth lateral defect at T1-2. Three sequestrated epidural disc fragments were removed resulting in postoperative relief of pain. A slightly miotic pupil remained.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
