Abstract
Selective en bloc resection of an osteoid osteoma from the superior ar ticular process of the sacral spine was performed, sparing the facet j oint. Computed tomography was very useful, both in making a diagnosis and in facilitating precise planning of the operative procedure. The p araspinal approach readily facilitated complete excision of the tumora l nidus with minimal surgical dissection.
