Abstract
A 12-year-old female was treated surgically for an aneurysmal bone cyst of the cervical spine involving the C2 and C3 vertebrae. The patient underwent surgery twice and further surgery was assessed as unfeasible. Treatment by intraosseous injection of doxycycline was uncomplicated and has resulted in resolution of the multifocal recurrent disease.
