AI Article Synopsis
- Spinal osteoid osteomas (OOs) are benign bone tumors that mainly affect the spine's posterior elements and may require surgery for pain relief in about 10% of cases.
- This text presents two case studies involving patients aged 11 and 17 with spinal OOs located at T7 and C4 vertebrae, respectively.
- The conclusion emphasizes that minimally invasive surgical techniques for removing small spinal OOs are both safe and feasible.
Article Abstract
Background: Spinal osteoid osteomas (OOs) are common benign bone tumors that most frequently affect the posterior elements. They occasionally (e.g., 10% of the time) necessitate surgical resection for intractable pain. Given their small size and posterior positions, many may be amenable to minimally invasive surgical approaches.
Case Description: We describe two cases of spinal OOs involving patients 11 and 17 years of age with lesions, respectively, at T7 and C4.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive approaches for resection of small bony spinal OOs are safe and technically achievable approaches.
