Subclinical cervical osteochondroma presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome after trivial neck trauma

Abstract

Osteochondroma is a rare condition in the spine that may be indolent due to its slow growth. The authors present a case of 32-year-old man with subclinical osteochondroma in the cervical spine presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome after trivial neck trauma. After resection of the tumor through hemilaminectomy, his symptoms were improved with mild residual sequelae. Copyright © 2012 The Korean Neurosurgical Society.
