“…In our case, the patient's father and grandmother had HME, so we could easily make the diagnosis of HME preoperatively. Malignant transformation may occur in up to 20% of patients with HME 4,10) . These exostosis, also called osteochondromas, involve the vertebral column in approximately 7-9% of cases, and 50% of these cases arise from the cervical spine 5) .…”

J Korean Neurosurg Soc 45 : [309][310][311] 2009 Cervical cord compression due to osteochondroma in hereditary multiple exostosis (HME) is a rare condition, especially in young children. In this report, we discuss a rare case of cervical osteochondroma presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) in a 7-year-old boy with HME. The child was admitted because of hemiparesis involving the right limbs and hypoesthesia on the left side following mild trauma. MR image revealed cord compression by osteochondroma of the C7 lamina. We removed the osteocondroma and the neurological deficit was improved.

“…This event is seen in approximately 1% to 2% of patients with solitary osteochondroma, 5 but the rate of malignant degeneration increases to 5% to 25% with hereditary multiple osteochondromas. 8,10 The initial image can be easily mistaken for a chondroma or chondrosarcoma. 4,6 In our case, the findings of histologic examination were consistent with a benign osteochondroma.…”
