A Case Report of a Cervical Exostosis and Spinal Cord Compression in a Child with Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome II

Abstract

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is an extremely rare complex genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. This case report discusses the management of a 4-year-old child with TRPS II (previously known as Langer–Giedion syndrome), who presented with right-sided hemiparesis and a limping gait secondary to spinal cord compression at the level of C1. Here, we document a child who underwent a successful decompressive laminectomy, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach in managing rare and complex cases.
