Circumferential Vertebrectomy With Reconstruction for Holocervical Aneurysmal Bone Cyst at C4 in a 15-Year-Old Girl

Abstract

Spinal aneurysmal bone cyst in children presents diverse challenges. These lesions should be treated with complete resection to minimize the chance of recurrence. In pediatric cases, defects created by resection should be corrected by fusion to minimize the risk of postoperative instability and growth abnormality. One-year followup demonstrated a stable construct, and the patient remains neurologically at her baseline.
