Isolated intramedullary histiocytosis-X of the cervical spinal cord. Case report.

Histiocytosis-X is known to involve the central nervous system, but rarely does this disease involve the spinal cord. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of isolated intramedullary histiocytosis-X of the spinal cord to be reported.
