AbstractAn uncommon case of calcified disc at two levels in the thoracic spine is presented. A 12-year-old girl presented with intervertebral thoracic disc calcification from the levels D7-D8 and D11-D12. Level D7-D8 remained asymptomatic, whereas at level D11-D12 she had spontaneous pain for 10 months. Her symptoms were self-limiting and disappeared with bed rest, analgesics, and the use of a brace. The radiological changes were the same at 4-year follow-up, but the patient remained asymptomatic.
