Abstract

We report a case of thoracic disc herniation sequestrated to the dorsal epidural space. The patient was a 31 year old male who had muscle weakness around his left hip and hypesthesia extending from his left abdomen to left foot. Myelography, CT myelography, and MRI showed Thoracic 7-8 herniation. Posterior approach was selected for surgery and the sequestrated hernia was removed.
