ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of thoracic disc herniation at T11/12 level which was downward migrated, presenting with signs of progressive spinal cord compression. The lesion was diagnosed by MRI. The operation was done by transthoracic transpleural approach using surgical microscope and the rib was not resected due to floating ribs of T11, 12. A Carbon cage with cancellous bones were used for the graft at the partial corpectomy site. The result of operation was good.
