“…There are only 58 cases of solitary spinal osteochondroma with cord compression (including our case) described in the literature [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Symptoms caused by cord compression are very rare in patients with spinal osteochondroma [10].…”

Involvement of the cervical spinal cord by a solitary osteochondroma is rare. We describe a case of cervical osteochondroma extending from C5 to C7 in a 16-year-old male. The tumor, arising from the inner aspect of the C6 spinous process, projected longitudinally into the spinal canal and compressed the spinal cord; this caused clinical symptoms associated with myelopathy and radiculopathy. Total excision of the tumor by C5–C7 hemilaminectomy resulted in a good functional recovery.

“…5 Rarely, spinal osteochondromas may present with nerve root or cord compression. 4,6 Even symptoms due to vertebral artery occlusion have been described. 7 When the tumor causes pain or neurological complications or when the diagnosis is unclear, it should be excised surgically.…”

Spinal cord compression is uncommon in spinal osteochondromas because in most cases the tumor grows out of the spinal column. To prevent neurological compromise, complete surgical removal is mandatory when an intraspinal osteochondroma with cord compression is diagnosed, which also helps to prevent recurrence. Our literature review of similar cases indicates that despite the old belief that C2 is the most commonly involved vertebra for osteochondromas, C1 is actually the most commonly involved vertebra in the cervical region.
