Abstract | Osteoblastoma is a primary bone-forming tumour that usually occurs in the second decade with an affinity to the posterior elements when found in the spine. Its occurrence in the early first decade is uncommon and often causes a diagnostic dilemma. It usually has a late presentation and the symptoms may be non-specific which may lead the clinician to overlook this particular entity. We present a case of osteoblastoma of the posterior elements of the C5 vertebra in a pre-adolescent child who was diagnosed and successfully managed with surgical resection in a timely fashion that led to favourable recovery postoperatively. |
