Calcification of the intervertebral disc in adults is not uncommon, and is usually asymptomatic.
We reported a symptomatic case of thoracic intervertebral disc calcification in a 40-year-old man who complained of back pain. Calcification of the intervertebral disc was found roentgenographically between the ninth and tenth thoracic vertebrae. He was treated conservatively, and was symptom-free three months later, but the calcification still remains.
