Abstract

Aneurysmal bone cysts are often mistaken as malignant tumors such as lesions or another benign bony lesion because of their proliferative component. Treatment of spinal aneurysmal bone cyst is challenging because of its proximity to the spinal cord, unique pathology, and complex growth characteristics. The treatment options are curettage and bone grafting, irradiation, embolization, intralesional injection of calcitonin, and steroid. We present a case of cervical aneurysmal bone cysts operated in a staged procedure: arterial embolization followed by surgical resection and stabilization. Keywords: Aneurysmal bone cyst, Arterial embolization, Bone grafting
