This is a report of a case of eosinophilic granuloma involving the second cervical vertebra in a 33-year-old woman. There have been 32 case reports in the literature describing eosinophilic granuloma presenting as cervical spine disease. Due to its intimate relation to the central nervous system, the opportunity for neurological sequelae and neurosurgical intervention is common in cervical eosinophilic granuloma. In this report a brief history of eosinophilic granuloma is reviewed and case histories from the literature with cervical spine involvement are summarized. The therapeutic options are described and a recommended protocol for management is outlined.
