ABSTRACT
A soft ruptured thoracic disc herniation is very rare. We have experienced a ruptured T5-6 disc herniation which was migrated into spinal canal and compressed spinal cord posteriorly. It was difficult to differentiate it from cord tumor. Posterior laminectomy offers a better chance of removal than does the anterolateral or posterolateral approach this case.
