Abstract:
The authors experienced a case of cervical periosteal chondroma presenting with symptoms of spinal cord compression in 26-year-old woman. The diagnosis was based on the characteristic features of computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging scan. Total surgical removal in two-staged operation was followed by full neurological recovery. Extensive spinal canal and extradural involvement in case of chondroma of the cervical vertebral column was observed and rarely reported in this literature.
