BACKGROUND: Thoracic disk herniation is a rare event, and acute presentation of this lesion is even less common.
METHODS: Case reports.
FINDINGS: Both patients presented with rapidly progressing lower extremity weakness and sphincter dysfunction. Radiographic work-up revealed large herniated thoracic disks with spinal cord compression. Emergency thoracic diskectomy was performed.
RESULTS: Both patients had partial reversal of neurologic and sphincter abnormalities after emergency surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic disk herniation, although rare, should be considered when patients present with acute thoracic myelopathy. Early surgical intervention may reverse some neurologic injuries.
