Abstract
|
|
|
Osteochondromas make up about 30% to 40% of benign bone tumors. Most are solitary lesions but some are multiple. Usually with autosomal dominant inheritance. From 1% to 5% of osteochondromas occur in the spine. where they can cause a variety of
signs
and symptoms including those of spinal cord compression lsolated osteochondromas are usually of little significance However. if they are located near neural structures they may cause irritation due to mechanical compression in patients with
hereditary
multiple exostoses who present with neck or back pain. and particularly in those who have neurologic symptoms in the upper of lower extremities. a diagnosis of intracanalicular osteochondroma should be presumed until proven otherwise Computerized
tomography (CT) and MRI are the imaging procedures of choice Prompt surgical excision affords the best prognosis for these patients who have spinal cord compression secondary to intracanalicular osteochondroma.
