title: [Right lumbo-crural sciatica due to a vertebral osteochondroma].
abstract: The above case-report is about unilateral lumbar-crural-sciatalgie which has led to the finding of a spinal tumour situated within the articular block on the right side of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. The clinical picture produced by this slowly growing tumour was that of spinal root compression which has called for its surgical removal. Histological examination of the tumour revealed an osteochondroma, the original aspects of which lie in its localization, the presenting symptoms, the age of the patients an in its course.
