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.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
