An 11 yr girl presented with pain in cervical spine and torticollis on the right side for 3 months. Tenderness and restricted movements without neurological deficit. Radiographs revealed lytic lesion C2 with increased soft tissue shadow and MRI a lesion in C2 with paravertebral soft tissue collection with compression on cord.Diagnosed as Potts spine C2. The patient given ATT,planned for CT guided biopsy and kept on crutchfield tong. discharged on cervical orthosis after 6 weeks. The patient presented after 3 weeks complaining of severe pain in the neck and weakness in all 4 limbs and incontinence of urine. The patient had upper motor signs on presentation. Radiographs revealed destruction of C2 vertebral body and MRI and CT demonstrated gross destruction of C2, compression of cord. Taken for decompression, biopsy and fixation posteriorly, revealed greyish white cheesy material with complete destruction of C2.As lesion was vascular,debulking to relieve cord compression and occipito-cervical fusion was done. The tissue subjected to histopathology which turned out to be undifferentiated Ewings Sarcoma. The patient was given chemotherapy which she responded to but later developed wound dehicence.she expired.Though tuberculosis is endemic here,suspicion must be kept for malignancies that mimic Potts spine. Tissue diagnosis is the key form the basis of treatment. 624
