Abstract
A case of thoracic diastematomyelia associated with acute disc herniation is reported. The female patient noted sensory and motor symptoms at 49 years of age, four months before hospitalization. Myelography, myelo-computerized tomography and nuclear resonance tomography of the thoracic spine and cord showed the region of diastematomyelia with an additional disc herniation at T 6/7. The bone spur and the disc was successfully excised. Post-operatively, the patient's deficits improved.Entities:
