Abstract
We report a unique case of ivory osteoma of the cervical spine. The clinical presentation was one of polyradicular deficit without myelopathy after trauma. The imaging characteristics and histology of the lesion were those of a classic ivory osteoma. A complete surgical excision of the lesion was accomplished. We think we have recorded the only well-documented case of ivory osteoma affecting the spine.
