摘要
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a benign and solitary bony lesion of unknown etiology, which typically affects children: 90% of patients are between the ages of 5 and 15 years. EG, a variant of histiocytosis X, is a rare disease causing destructive bony lesions of the cervical spine in children. This report describes the case of a 5-year-old boy with torticollis who presented to the Emergency Department and was found to have EG of C-6. He was successfully treated with anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion by using anterior plate and screws, with resolution of his symptoms. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
