Abstract
• A 58-year-old woman with hereditary multiple exostoses had slowly progressive myelopathy due to a vertebral exostosis that compressed the spinal cord at T1-2. She did not show skeletal deformities, but had numerous palpable long-bone exostoses. While CNS complications are rare in hereditary multiple exostosis, 17 other cases have been reported.Keywords
