Spontaneous resorption of large thoracic disc herniation: A case report

Abstract

Introduction: Thoracic disc herniation is a rare condition, accounting for 0.1-3.0% of all disc herniations, and may require complex surgical treatment. Case Report: We are presenting a 40-year-old patient with Th9-Th10 level disc herniation, who showed clinical and radiological improvement after conservative treatment. Conclusion: Our case demonstrates that, in patients with thoracic disc herniation, without myelopathy and with mild complaints, surgery should be delayed as much as possible due to the possibility of spontaneous herniated disc resorption.
