Abstract:
An osteoid osteoma in the anterior part of the body of the fourth cervical vertebra occurred in a 22-year-old female. The patient's main complaint was neck pain and occasional numbness of the extremities. The pain was relieved by analgesics. Plain radiography and a 99Tcm MDP bone scan showed a non-specific abnormality. CT suggested the pathological diagnosis with reasonable certainty. The unusual location of the lesion and the role of various diagnostic modalities are discussed and the literature reviewed.
