Summary
Aneurysmal bone cysts are rare spinal tumors. This study reports two cases, detailing surgical removal and neurologic improvement in patients with thoracic vertebrae and C2 spinous process involvement.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurosurgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are uncommon, benign, expansile, and destructive bony lesions.
- Spinal ABCs, though rare, can cause significant morbidity due to potential neurologic compromise.
- Typical imaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aid in preoperative diagnosis.
