An Exceptional Neurosurgical Presentation of a Patient with Osteopetrosis

Patients with OP can exhibit many clinical conditions. However, our case involved an unusual and rapid progressive tetraparesis, which could confuse the management as necessitating an emergent posterior fossa decompression. Stabilizing the metabolic status of the patient facilitated elective surgery, which further improved patient's neurologic findings and diminished hydromyelia on long-term follow-up.
