Abstract
|
|
|
|
The involvement in the spine of eosinophilic granuloma is not common. Especially, involvement of cervical spine and posterior neural arch is quite rare. In addition, radiographic findings including magnetic resonance images of eosinophilic granuloma are manifested as vertebral body collapse, loss of pedicle and paravertebral soft mass formation; it must be differentiated with other conditions, such as malignant bone tumor, metastatic cancer or tuberculous spondylitis. We experienced three cases of eosinophilic granuloma involving posterior neural arch of C4, C7, and body of C4 respectively, which were performed surgical treatment and achieved complete healing. We report these cases with review of literatures.
