Osteochondroma of Lower Dorsal Spine in Hereditary Multiple Exostosis Causing Spinal Cord Compression: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction; Osteochondroma or exostosis are the most common benign tumors of the bone that usually occur in the long bones and rarely found in the spine. When present in the spine, however, they have a predilection for the cervical region. They occur in two forms as solitary and multiple hereditary forms. We have reported here a case of spinal cord compression due to osteochondroma arising from the T-12 vertebral body and left pedicle in a 13-year-old female who presented to us with spastic paraparesis.
