The authors report two cases of C2-3 disc herniation after trivial trauma in relatively young adult. They were a 36-year-old male and 45-year male with a herniated disc at C2-3 that had migrated rostrally. They are complained severe neck pain and suboccipital pain, but have no myelopathic symptoms. The patients underwent surgery via anterior cervical discectomy with fusion. Postoperatively, the patient's radicular pain resolved immediately and completely. One patient had postoperative hypo- glossal nerve paresis, that recovered spontaneously within a few weeks. The authors reviewed the case and relevant literature.
