Bony exostosis of the atlas with resultant cranial nerve palsy

J P Slavotinek et al. Neuroradiology. 1991.

Abstract

A case of tenth and twelfth nerve compression secondary to a bony exostosis of the first cervical vertebra is described. This uncommon phenomenon serves to outline the importance of imaging the course of a cranial nerve when no intracranial abnormality is demonstrable on CT or MRI. The radiologic features of spinal osteochondromas are reviewed.
