Abstract:
Compared to the lumbar region, it is very rare to encounter far lateral disc herniation in the cervical spine, and because of this, correct diagnosis before surgery is difficult: the condition can, however, be identified through the use of advanced MRI imaging techniques. In this case, far lateral disc herniation at C7-T1 was effectivery removed through posterior laminoforaminotomy, and soon after surgery, the patient's symptoms showed complete remission.
