A case of osteochondroma at T5 level, impinging on the spinal cord in a patient previously diagnosed of hereditary osteochondromatosis, is presented. Spinal compression is an infrequent event in the course of this disease. Nevertheless, one must consider this possibility in the follow-up of the patients with this relatively common bone dysplasia.
Se presenta un caso de osteocondroma espinal, a nivel T5, en una paciente previamente diagnosticada de osteocondromatosis hereditaria. Aunque la aparición de un cuadro de compresión medular por osteocondromas raquídeos es relativamente infrecuente en el curso de la osteocondromatosis hereditaria, su posibilidad debe ser tenida en cuenta en el control evolutivo de los pacientes con esta displasia ósea.
