Langerhans cell histocytosis (LCH) in spine is a benign disorder that rare in adults and mainly affects children. We report the case of a 16 year-male presented to us with severe pain in nape region and upper limb radiculopathy along with upper limbs weakness for 4 months. He had history of fall injury 6month ago. Radiological investigation revealed to have a solitary osteolytic lesion with pathological fracture at C6 vertebral body. The patient underwent surgical management in the form of excision of lesion, anterior C6 Corpectomy with C5-C6, C6-C7 discetomy and reconstruction with titanium cage and plating. Patient had immediate relief of nape region pain and radiculopathy. The accurate diagnosis of LCH was founded on histological examination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
