Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumour characterised by an osteoid rich nidus in a highly loose, vascular connective tissue. They are generally smaller than 1.5 to 2 cm in size. It is reported to occur in the cortex of the shaft of long bone in about 80 to 90% cases. Osteoid osteoma of skull bone is rare. It may occur at any age, most commonly between the ages of 4 and 25 years old. Males are more commonly affected than females. Many patients achive pain relief with medical management. Surgical intervention is indicated for patients in whom conservative management fails. Complete surgical excision of the nidus is the treatment of choice as it is the most predicatable way to cure osteoid osteoma and should be the goal of surgical intervention. Aims: To study surgical outcome for osteoid osteoma of skull – An observational study Methods and Materials: It was a retrospective study conducted in department of neurosurgery at a tertiary care centre in Ahmedabad – Gujarat from January 2009 to December 2014. All patients who underwent surgical excision for osteoid osteoma of skull bone at deparment of neurosurgery were included in the study and patients who lost to follow up were excluded. A total of 21 patients were included in our retrospective analysis. Age, gender, clinical features and surgical outcome were considered for analysis. The result of the study was analysed by appropriate statistical tool. Results and Conclusion: In our study, majority of patients were from first and second decade of life. Males were more commonly affected than females. Pain and swelling of skull bone was the only complain in all cases. There was no recurrence in any case after complete surgical excision.
