Can Osteomas Formed In The Spine Cause Paralysis Of The Lower Body?
Question: Can this cause paralysis of the lower body? What kind of Dr.
Brief Answer:
It's possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The answer to your query is yes. If there are osteomas formed in the spine, and if they grow bigger in size they'd certainly cause pressure symptoms, one of them is also paralysis (the affected body part would be depending on the region of the affected spine).
Contrast-enhanced CAT-scan or MRI Spine should be done to rule this out. A thorough clinical check-up is also required by a Neurosurgeon to decide the further course of management.
Let me know if I can assist you further. Take Care.

Brief Answer:
further detailed evaluation needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, it's possible given the history of multiple osteomas, stones, and lumps.
These are different entities of health concerns which may not be interrelated to a single specialty. So, at this outset, I'd recommend seeing an Internal Medicine specialist to undergo a detailed clinical check-up as well as a thorough set of investigations (Hemogram, ESR, LFT, KFT, Thyroid function test, FBS, PPBS, Serum Cortisol, Vit-D3, Vit-B12, PTH assay) to look into it further.
Further treatment management can be planned based on the findings, and if at all any further referral is required, it'll be provided by the Internal Medicine specialist thereafter.
