Introduction: Osteochondroma and exostosis are the most frequent benign bone tumours, occurring mostly in the long bones and relatively rarely in the spine. When detected in the spine, they have a preference for the cervical region. They are classified as solitary or multiple hereditary. We present a case of spinal cord compression due to osteochondroma developing from the T-12 vertebral body and left pedicle in a 13-year-old female who presented with spastic paraparesis and its functional outcome. The tumour mass, including the lamina and pedicle of the 12th thoracic vertebrae on the left side, as well as the cartilaginous cap, was excised via a posterior approach. At two months following surgery, the patient was able to walk without assistance, and one year later, she had fully recovered neurologically.
