“…Suttner et al [8] surveyed the literature and identifi ed only fi ve previously reported cases of osteoid osteoma confi ned to the cervical spinal vertebral body. There have been two additional reports [1,5] on this problem, which make a total of seven cases presented in the literature.…”

“…Although MRI is not specifi c for osteoid osteomas, it is the best imaging technique for revealing the relationship between the tumour and the spinal cord. Plain radiographs of the cervical spine are usually negative because of the size of the lesion and the overlap of anatomical features [8] . Radionuclide bone scanning is positive in the majority of cases [8] .…”

“…The posterior vertebral elements, especially the lamina and pedicles, are predominantly involved by this tumour [3,9] . An osteoid osteoma in a cervical vertebral body is very rare [1,5,8] . This report presents such case.…”

We report a very rare case of 5-year-old boy with osteoid osteoma of the cervical vertebral body. The patient presented with a 6-month history of neck pain with radiation into the shoulder and arm on the left side, which was relieved by ibuprofen. Neurological examination and plain radiographs of the cervical spine were normal. CT scan and bone scintigraphy, rather than MRI suggested the pathological diagnosis, which was confirmed on histological examination. The patient underwent excision of the lesion via an anterior approach with complete resolution of the pain postoperatively.

“…An osteoid osteoma in the spine shows a 70% to 100% propensity for posterior element involvement [6,8,16]. Excluding the posterior elements, cervical spinal osteoid osteomas have been reported in the dens axis [22], the lateral mass of C1 [4] or C5 [7], the vertebral body of C2 [4,20] or C3 [28], the transverse process of C2 [2] or C4 [21], and the pedicle of C3 [29], C5 [25,29], or C6 [18]. To our knowledge, however, there has not been any report of an osteoid osteoma in the pedicle of C2.…”

An osteoid osteoma of the cervical spinal pedicle is rare and carries a high surgical risk because of the close anatomic relationship to the spinal cord, nerve root, and vertebral artery. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with an osteoid osteoma of the C2 pedicle. Computed tomograms showed an oval nidus and marked sclerosis around this lesion at the right C2 pedicle. There also was expansion of the medial and inferior cortical bone of the C2 pedicle. After failure of nonoperative treatment, we planned surgery. Owing to concerns regarding thermal damage to the spinal cord, nerve root, and/or vertebral artery using computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation, we curetted the nidus using a navigation system. Twenty-eight months after surgery, her pain was relieved with no limitation of cervical movement and there has been no evidence of recurrence. Navigation allowed safe curettage of the nidus through a small hole while maintaining spinal stability.

“…The spine is only affected in about 10% of the cases, with more than 50% involving the lumbar spine, here again, mainly (90%) the dorsal parts up to the origin of the pedicle; the body of the vertebra is involved in exceptional cases [7,14,16,17,20]. With regard to the cervical spine, an osteoid osteoma of the third cervical vertebra [21], the arc of the axis [8], the second vertebral body [18], the tranverse process of the axis [2] and the transverse process of the fourth cervical vertebra [19] have been reported in literature.…”

An osteoid osteoma of the dens axis was diagnosed by computed tomography and bone scintigraphy in a 14-year-old girl with a 1.5-year history of pain. No case of an osteoid osteoma of the dens axis has been published in the literature yet. Regarding its clinical and radiological appearance, this osteoid osteoma was essentially similar to osteoid osteomas in other locations, i.e., it had an osteolytic nidus surrounded by sclerosis, associated with nocturnal pain and a positive aspirin test.
