Abstrakt: Osteochondromas typically arise in the appendicular skeleton, with axial lesions occurring less commonly. Osteochondroma of the spine resulting in cord compression and symptomatic myelopathy is relatively rare. Most cases are reported in adolescents and adults. Consequently, there is a scarcity of literature regarding its occurrence in the pediatric population. We report the case of a cervical osteochondroma of C4-6 with cord compression in a nine-year-old girl. Surgical excision with laminectomy and laminotomy successfully resolved all neurologic deficits. A literature review revealed 27 cases of pediatric osteochondromas with cord compression, suggesting that these lesions are not as rare in the pediatric population as previously thought.
