Abstract
Intraosseous pneumatocyst is a relatively rare condition, and its natural course is not known. We report two cases of intraosseous pneumatocyst of vertebra with resorption of gas and its replacement with fluid shown on follow-up cross-sectional imaging. The mechanism influencing the course of these appearances is unclear. However, the benign nature of intraosseous pneumatocyst needs to be recognized and biopsy avoided.Entities:
