Intervertebral disc protrusions occur most frequently in the lumbar spine, much less frequently in the cervical spine and very rarely in the thoracic spine. The symptomatology of thoracic protrusions is both aspecific and polymorphic. The diagnosis is therefore difficult and necessarily depends on myelography and computerised axial tomography (CAT scanning). The treatment is surgical and should be undertaken early if pain and neurological damage are to be relieved.
椎间盘突出最常发生于腰椎,颈椎较少见,胸椎则极为罕见。胸椎间盘突出的症状既不典型又多样。因此,诊断困难,且必然依赖于脊髓造影和计算机断层扫描(CT扫描)。治疗方式为手术,如果要缓解疼痛和神经损伤,应尽早进行手术。
