A case of symptomatic herniation at the first thoracic disc level is reported. The patient presented with hand weakness, Horner's syndrome, and pain radiating along the medial aspect of the upper extremity. Myelography demonstrated a smooth lateral defect at T1-2. Three sequestrated epidural disc fragments were removed with postoperatvie relief of pain. A slightly miotic pupil remains.
