Dysplastic lesions of the spinal column include a wide spectrum of disorders that can occur secondary to metabolic, degenerative, and inflammatory processes. The clinical presentations are highly variable, depending on the location of the lesion and the extent of the systemic disease process. Common signs and symptoms include pain, scoliosis, myelopathy, and weakness. Surgical decision making is based on patient status, comorbidities, and extent of disease.
