    Author: Göçmen S, Çolak A, Mutlu B, Asan A.
    Journal: Agri; 2015; 27(3):163-5. PubMed ID: 26356107.
    Abstract:
    Multiple thoracic disc herniations are rare, and few reports exist in the literature. Diagnosis of these herniations is often missed because of their lack of specific clinical presentation. They may be treated conservatively or surgically. We presented a 35-year-old woman with five contiguous level thoracic disc herniations. She was admitted with upper back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed disc herniations at levels T6-7, T7-8, T8-9, T9-10 and T10-11. All were left sided and on the same line in the sagittal plane. The patient underwent conservative treatment. This report presented an unusual case and discussed its mechanisms.
