    Summary

    Primary bone disorders can cause spinal cord compression, accounting for 13% of spinal block cases. This study reviews 11 such cases, highlighting rare bony causes of this serious neurological condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Spinal cord compression is a significant neurological condition.
    • Primary bony disorders are an uncommon cause of spinal cord compression.

    Observation:

    • This study analyzed 232 cases of spinal cord or cauda equina compression.
    • 11 cases (4.7%) were solely due to primary bony disorders.
    • 20 additional cases (8.6%) had developmental spinal stenosis as the primary cause.

    Findings:

    • The 11 primary bony disorder cases included Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, chondrosarcoma, and others.
    • Collectively, primary bone disorders represented 13% of spinal block cases in this series.
    • Specific rare bony disorders causing cord compression were detailed, with literature review.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the diverse range of primary bone pathologies that can lead to spinal cord compression.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering bony etiologies in spinal cord compression diagnosis.
    • Provides a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing spinal cord compression from osseous origins.
