Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Osteochondromas are benign bone tumors, often presenting as solitary lesions or part of multiple hereditary exostoses.
  • While typically found in the appendicular skeleton, spinal osteochondromas can lead to neurological deficits by compressing neural structures.
  • Surgical intervention, including laminectomy, is considered for symptomatic spinal osteochondromas.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old male with multiple hereditary exostoses presented with rapidly progressing bilateral upper extremity numbness and gait imbalance.
  • Cervical spine CT revealed a lobulated bony tumor at the inner margin of the C4 lamina.
  • The patient underwent C3-C5 laminectomies with C3-5 mass screw placement for decompression.

Findings:

  • Pathological analysis confirmed the tumor as an osteochondroma.
  • The patient experienced significant symptom improvement following the surgical decompression and fusion.
  • This case documents an osteochondroma at the less common C4 level, distinct from typical C2 and C5 occurrences.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering spinal osteochondromas, even at less common levels.
  • The decision for spinal fusion during decompression for osteochondromas requires careful case-by-case evaluation.
  • Optimal surgical management, potentially including fusion, can lead to marked neurological recovery in patients with spinal osteochondromas.
