title: [Spinal cord compression caused by dorsal disk hernia. Complication of Scheuermann's disease].
abstract: Association of Scheuermann's disease with a thoracic herniated disc compressing the spinal cord is rare but is clearly demonstrated in the case reported here. This confirms the non-fortuitous nature of this association also suggested by the analysis of published cases. The interest of spinal cord angiography and of surgery through a postero-lateral approach are emphasized.
