Giant Cervical Aneurysmal Bone Cyst and Its Multimodal Management.

Abstract

Giant aneurysmal bone cysts of the spine are rare lesions and, correspondingly, the optimal treatment sequence is unclear if gross total resection cannot be achieved. We present a remarkable clinical image of a giant cervical aneurysmal bone cyst diagnosed in a 12-year-old female, which was refractory to gross total resection due to vertebral artery encasement and involvement of the carotid artery and jugular vein. We then summarize our planned multimodal management.
