Abstract
|
|
|
Aneurysmal bone cysts are lytic lesions that have been described in virtually every portion of the skeleton but most commonly occur as solitary lesions in the metaphyseal portions of long bones. One fifth of aneurysmal bone cysts occur in the
spine
where they most frequently involve the posterior elements. In the spine. aneurysmal bone cyst have been reported to occur in the lower thoracic and lumbar regions. but their occurrence in the cervicodorsal area is uncommon.
In this case. the second cervical vertebral body and posterior elements are affected. Fortunately. the lesion didn't invade into the spinal canal. The main symptom on admission was pressure pain. tenderness and motion limitation of the cervical
spine.
we removed the lesion involving posterior elements of second cervical spine and used horse-shoe shaped pediatric C-D device for occipito-cervical fixation. The clinical symptoms were resolved after operation. The clinical. radiologic. operative
and
pathological findings are reported and the corresponding literature are reviewed.
