[Cervical osteoid osteoma. Report of a case and review of the literature].
One case of a cervical osteoid osteoma is presented and compared with infrequent similar cases from the literature. The authors recall the diagnosis difficulties, facing a long standing not explained neck pain due to poor neurological and current radiological informations. The interest of the bone scintigraphy, CT scan and M.R.I. are emphasized. Like in other cases, the pain disappeared after surgical removal of the tumor. The eventually associated scoliosis often rectify too.
