Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Solid aneurysmal bone cyst (S-ABC) is a variant of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), an uncommon benign bone tumor. There are few cases described in the cervical spine in kids up today. We treated a recurrent case with neurological involvement that needed multiple surgical procedures and radiotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of C4 located S-ABC concerning a 2-year-old boy treated surgically by anterior and posterior approach. Three months after the initial procedure appearance of a tetraparesis led to diagnose a local recurrence treated by sclerotherapy and a second surgery. The patient had a full neurological recovery. Three months later, a follow-up CT scan showed a second recurrence requiring a new surgical revision by anterior approach and radiotherapy. OUTCOME: At 6-year follow-up after four surgical procedures, sclerotherapy and radiotherapy, the aneurysmal bone cyst has been healed. Patient had neurological impairment after a local recurrence but had full recovered after final revision surgery.
