  • Title: Osteochondroma of the cervical spine: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Cooke RS, Cumming WJ, Cowie RA.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1994; 8(3):359-63. PubMed ID: 7946028.
    Abstract:
    Osteochondroma of the spine is a rare condition; we report a patient who presented with a spastic tetraparesis due to such a lesion of the second cervical vertebra. Surgical removal resulted in improvement of the original symptoms, but a transient hemiparesis developed postoperatively. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging was performed and demonstrated a region of myelomalacia at the level of surgery. Survey of the literature confirms the rarity of this lesion and the use of radiology in diagnosis is discussed.
