title: T1 radiculopathy.
abstract: The patient was a 40-year-old man who had experienced a constant deep ache over his left T1-2 paravertebral muscle region. Following 2 weeks of physical therapist intervention with no improvement, the patient self-referred to a neurosurgeon. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical and upper thoracic spine regions was ordered and revealed a left paracentral disc protrusion at T1-2 that resulted in moderate left foraminal stenosis.
