Abstract
A 12-year-old girl consults the orthopaedic surgeon to exclude somatic causes of her cervical pain. One of her specific symptom is nocturnal pain, which responds well to NSAIDs. SPECT-CT showed an osteoid osteoma of the C3 pedicle. Osteoid osteoma is mostly a self-limiting disease in young adults.
