Source abstract
CASE: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are uncommon, benign, fluid-filled lesions, most often encountered in children and adolescents. We report a case of a 16-year-old boy with symptomatic spinal cord compression due to ABC located in the T1 and T2 vertebrae. He was treated by selective arterial embolization (SAE). CONCLUSION: Our report demonstrates that it is possible to achieve successful spinal cord decompression solely through SAE, offering a less invasive approach without the need for surgery. The use of SAE in this specific group of patients (symptomatic spinal cord compression without spinal deformity/instability) might be a safe and effective alternative to surgery.
