[Imaging of spinal osteochondroma of neurologic nature. Apropos of 7 cases].

In this work, on 7 cases of spinal neurological, the authors analyse the use of imaging in the diagnosis and pretherapeutic approach, as well as for the post-operative follow-up. They insist mostly on the value of tomographic imaging methods, in particular: computed tomography, which allows the study of mineral structures, and determines the site of implant pedicle; magnetic resonance imaging important to precise the connections between tumor and spinal canal contents. They prove that other imaging methods still possess some interest, particularly standard X-ray, useful in estimating the characteristics of exostosis and identifying spinal lesions.
