Abstract:
A rare case of thoracic myelopathy due to posterior osteophytes of vertebral body without disc degeneration in a young adult male is described. This 25-year-old male presented with a worsening numbness and pain in the right leg and radiological study revealed posterior osteophytes at T10/11 compressing subarachnoid space. The resection of osteophytes with anterior interbody fusion improved his symptoms.
