RESUMEN
La principal causa de dolor en el raquis torácico y lumbar es mecánica, aunque no pueden olvidarse otras etiologías. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con dolor en dicha localización, de características inflamatorias, rebelde al tratamiento, cuya etiología fue una hernia intraesponjosa, y se hace una revisión de la bibliografía (AU)
Thoracic and lumbar spine conditions cause primarily mechanical back pain, although the clinician has to ensure that the symptoms are not from another etiology. We present the case of a patient with thoracic and lumbar non mechanical pain, resistant to treatment, diagnosed with a herniation of the intervertebral disc through the vertebral end-plate. We also performed a literature review (AU)
