Abstract
Objective And Importance:
We report a unique case of ivory osteoma of the cervical spine.
Clinical Presentation:
The clinical presentation was one of polyradicular deficit without myelopathy after trauma. The imaging characteristics and histology of the lesion were those of a classic ivory osteoma.
Intervention:
A complete surgical excision of the lesion was accomplished.
Conclusion:
We think we have recorded the only well-documented case of ivory osteoma affecting the spine.
