Abstract
Case report. To describe a case of pediatric calcified intervertebral disc herniations at the cervical-thoracic junction surgically treated with laminoplasty. A 13-year-old girl with calcified intervertebral disc herniations at C7/Th1 and Th1/2 causing myelopathy was performed with laminoplasty . Postoperative course was without complication, and the neurologic examination returned to a completely normal state at 5 years to date after surgery. Laminoplasty produced an excellent result and is a consideration for treatment of similar cases of calcified intervertebral disc herniation.
