  • Title: [Symptomatic Langerhans-cell-histiocytosis of the cervical spine in a child: case report].
    Author: Schroers C, Donauer E, Laudan M, Herbst EW, Barz H.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 2000; 212(3):121-5. PubMed ID: 10916784.
    Abstract:
    We report on a six year old female presented with a painful torticollis and a hemidysaesthesia caused by destruction of the third cervical vertebra and a paravertebral soft-tissue mass. At diagnostic routine finally a biopsy gives the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. In a second open approach the destructed vertebral body was replaced by a precisely adjusted autologous bone interponate and the patient was maintained in halo vest immobilisation. The outcome is described and an overview of the current literature is given.
