  • Title: [A case report: intraspinal canal osteochondroma at the cervicothoracic junction causing spinal cord compression].

    Abstract:
    Osteochondromas are one of the most common benign tumors. They typically develop on long, tubular bones, only rarely compressing the spinal cord. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy who suffered paraparesis secondary to a cervical osteochondroma based at the vertebral body. The tumor was removed using laminectomy. CT scanning, plain X-ray films, and MR imaging were used in the preoperative assessment of the lesion and the operative method.
