    Author: Ramdasi RV, Mahore A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2014 Nov 17; 2014():. PubMed ID: 25404250.
    Abstract:
    We discuss a rare case of solitary osteochondroma arising from D2-D3 vertebrae presenting as Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) in a 28-year-old man following a fall. MRI revealed cord compression by an extradural ventrolateral tumour projecting into the spinal canal at D2-D3 level. Intraoperatively, it was found to be a bony tumour arising from the left of the D2 and D3 vertebral bodies, left pedicles and adjacent articular facets. The neurological deficits of the patient improved after the surgery.
