Spinal aneurysmal bone cyst in children: systematic review of the literature

https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2019.2.49-55

Abstract

Publications on aneurysmal bone cysts of the spine in children for the last 20 years were systematized taking into account different treatment approaches. The results of radiation therapy, local puncture interventions, surgical removal of the tumor, selective embolization, and of their combinations were reviewed based on the data of 19 publications representing 165 pediatric patients.
