Aneurysmal Bone Cyst

Abstract

Treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst in the cervical spine is challenging when it occurs in close proximity to neural and vascular structures. Future stability of the cervical spine is a concern, especially when there is significant involvement of the vertebral body and posterior elements. At 36- and 18-month follow-up, the surgical approach to aneurysmal bone cyst presented here provided these patients with complete curative treatment and preservation of cervical spine stability.
