Description
Summary:Osteochondromas are common developmental benign bone lesions, which rarely involve the spine. In a narrow space, such as the spinal canal, they may potentially lead to serious complications.

The objective of this review is to describe the typical imaging findings of this rare, but occasionally significant condition of the spine.
