We describe a case of a 15-year-old boy with low back pain that progressed and subsequently developed into unilateral lower limb numbness. An X-ray study was inconclusive, but a CT study showed a vertebral body mass with intravertebral space narrowing. An additional MRI study displayed compression of the spinal roots. The child demanded surgical management. A histological examination from the excised tumour revealed osteoblastoma.

BackgroundBenign osseous lesions of the spine are common but precise population prevalence estimates are lacking. Our study aimed to provide the first population-based prevalence estimates and examine association with back and neck pain.Materials and methodsWe used data from the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). Whole-body MRI examinations (1.5 Tesla: T1, T2, and TIRM weightings) were available from 3,259 participants. Readings of the spinal MRI images were conducted according to a standardized protocol by a single reader (JS). The intra-rater reliability was greater than Kappa values of 0.98. Pain measures included the seven-day prevalence of spine pain and neck pain, and average spine pain intensity due to spine pain during the past three months.ResultsWe found 1,200 (36.8%) participants with at least one osseous lesion (2,080 lesions in total). Osseous lesions were less common in men than in women (35.5% vs 38.9%; P = .06). The prevalence of osseous lesions was highest at L2 in both sexes. The prevalence of osseous lesions increased with age. Up to eight osseous lesions were observed in a single subject. Hemangioma (28%), and lipoma (13%) occurred most often. Sclerosis (1.7%), aneurysmal bone cysts (0.7%), and blastoma (0.3%) were rare. Different osseous lesions occurred more often in combination with each other. The association with back or neck pain was mostly negligible.ConclusionOsseous lesions are common in the general population but of no clinical relevance for spinal pain. The prevalence of osseous lesions varied strongly across different regions of the spine and was also associated with age and gender. Our population-based data offer new insights and assist in judging the relevance of osseous lesions observed on MRIs of patients.

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Involving the C2 Vertebra

Abstract: A 9-year-old boy presented with a 3-month history of cervical pain, limited range of motion, and a palpable "bump" in his posterior neck. After treatment with antibiotics for presumptive adenopathy and progression of the palpable finding, radiographs were obtained.
