Summary
Endovascular embolization effectively treated a pediatric cervical aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). This minimally invasive approach reduced lesion size and ossification, offering a potential alternative to surgery for select cases.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Vascular Surgery
- Pediatric Oncology
Background:
- Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are rare, benign, expansible bone lesions predominantly affecting children.
- While typically found in long bone metaphyses, ABCs can occur in flat bones and the spine.

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...
