Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Hereditary multiple exostoses can cause spinal cord compression. Surgical removal of a C2 exostosis in a child with hereditary multiple exostoses relieved myelopathy and improved spastic tetraparesis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple bony outgrowths.
  • Spinal involvement in HME can lead to neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression.
  • Cervical spine involvement, particularly at the C2 level, can present with significant myelopathy.
