Aneurysmal bone cyst of the cervicothoracic spine: computed tomographic evaluation of the value of preoperative embolization. Case report. 1986

S P Disch, and R L Grubb, and M H Gado, and W B Strecker, and J P Marbarger

In this report, the management of an aneurysmal bone cyst in the cervicothoracic region of an 8-year-old girl is described. Aneurysmal bone cyst is a histologically benign lesion that is often extremely vascular. In the spine, it can cause extensive bone destruction and compress neural structures. Because this lesion may involve all parts of a vertebra, full delineation of the lesion before its excision is important in planning the surgical approach. The value of preoperative embolization to reduce tumor vascularity, allowing total excision, and the improved radiological evaluation of this lesion with computed tomographic scanning are demonstrated.

D007796 Laminectomy A surgical procedure that entails removing all (laminectomy) or part (laminotomy) of selected vertebral lamina to relieve pressure on the SPINAL CORD and/or SPINAL NERVE ROOTS. Vertebral lamina is the thin flattened posterior wall of vertebral arch that forms the vertebral foramen through which pass the spinal cord and nerve roots. Laminotomy,Laminectomies,Laminotomies

D001845 Bone Cysts Benign unilocular lytic areas in the proximal end of a long bone with well defined and narrow endosteal margins. The cysts contain fluid and the cyst walls may contain some giant cells. Bone cysts usually occur in males between the ages 3-15 years.
