Abstract
English
Viene presentato un caso di ernia toracica calcifica mediana, localizzata a livello di T7-T8, non solo per la relativa bassa incidenza di tale patologia in sede dorsale ma anche e soprattuutto per le difficoltà incontrate in fase di diagnosi. Viene segnalato e discusso il ruolo fondamentale svolto a tale scopo dalle indagini di tomografia computerizzata e di risonanza magnetica.
