eosinophilic Granuloma of Atlas in a Child treated by Surgical resection and in Situ Fusion with 3 years of Follow-up: A Case report
نویسنده
چکیده
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG), a rare disorder of clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells, is a benign osseous variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It involves patients of all ages, but most commonly affects children (18). It is mostly seen in the skull, long bones, pelvis and spine. When eosinophilic granuloma affects the spine, it is most often seen in the thoracic, and then lumbar and cervical vertebra (3). Moreover, if it is seen in cervical vertebra, it usually involves the subaxial vertebra in children (19), and the second vertebra in adults (3); up to date, there are only a few reports of atlas involvement by eosinophilic granuloma, either in adults or children (5,7-9,13,14,16,19,22-24).
