Although its optimal surgical management is unknown, some recommend complete resection to decrease the likelihood of future recurrence. Case Description: A 41-year-old female presented with fibrous dysplasia involving the right L4 lamina and spinous process. Following image-guided en bloc resection, the patient remained asymptomatic without evidence of recurrence 8 months later. Conclusion: Image-guided excision of monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the right L4 lamina and spinous process was successfully performed without clinical or radiographic evidence of recurrence within 8 postoperative months.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/fcb62614-a5a6-4163-8ee0-2bbdfb6d1c83/featured/hero-1781563039674.png","publishDate":"2020-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_232_2020","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/fcb62614-a5a6-4163-8ee0-2bbdfb6d1c83/pdf"}
