Abstract
Osteopoikilosis is an uncommon benign sclerosing bone dysplasia. Herein we present a case of osteopoikilosis with characteristic roentgenographic findings and clinical findings of cervical myelopathy. The importance of the differential diagnosis in symptomatic cases of osteopoikilosis is emphasized with the review of the literature.
