  • Title: Osteochondroma of the cervical spine extending multiple segments with cord compression.
    Author: Moon KS, Lee JK, Kim YS, Kwak HJ, Joo SP, Kim IY, Kim JH, Kim SH.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2006; 42(5):304-7. PubMed ID: 16902343.
    Abstract:
    Involvement of the cervical spinal cord by a solitary osteochondroma is rare. We describe a case of cervical osteochondroma extending from C5 to C7 in a 16-year-old male. The tumor, arising from the inner aspect of the C6 spinous process, projected longitudinally into the spinal canal and compressed the spinal cord; this caused clinical symptoms associated with myelopathy and radiculopathy. Total excision of the tumor by C5-C7 hemilaminectomy resulted in a good functional recovery.
