11/44. Simple bone cyst in spinous process of the c4 vertebra.Simple bone cysts are common, benign, fluid-filled, cystic lesions that occur mostly in the metaphysis of the long bones and are rarely found in vertebrae. A case of a simple bone cyst in the spinous process of the fourth cervical vertebra in a 26-year-old woman is reported. According to the radiologic findings, the lesion was identified as a simple bone cyst, and the diagnosis was verified by surgical and histopathologic examinations.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
12/44. Aneurysmal bone cyst of the upper thoracic spine. An operative approach through a manubrial sternotomy.Surgical access to T-1 and T-2 vertebral bodies through standard cervical approaches may be difficult and extensive in patients with short necks or high sterna. Adequate exposure of this area can be achieved in children, using a partial manubrial sternotomy and retraction of the manubrial halves. This procedure was successfully performed in a 14-year-old girl whose T-1 vertebra had been completely replaced by a large aneurysmal bone cyst that had produced major paraparesis. A two-stage anteroposterior excision and spinal fusion resulted in complete restoration of neurologic function, eradication of the cyst, and stabilization of the cervicothoracic spine. The limited manubrial split approach to lesions in the T-1 and T-2 vertebrae is recommended.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
13/44. klippel-feil syndrome associated with pneumatocyst of the right cervical rib.A patient with klippel-feil syndrome reported with a pneumatocyst of the proximal epiphysis of a right cervical rib. There was no additional skeletal abnormality except for fusion of the C3 and C4 vertebral bodies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported instance of this particular association.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
14/44. An unusual appearance of an aneurysmal bone cyst of the thoracic spine.Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) have been reported in essentially every bone of the human skeleton. This case report documents a very unusual clinical appearance for this entity: a superior mediastinal mass. Also, the patient underwent multiple imaging studies that demonstrated both common (absence of septations) and unusual (extensive involvement of vertebral body with little involvement of posterior elements) characteristics of ABCs.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
15/44. Atypical vertebral artery in a patient with an intra-and extraspinal cervical neurenteric cyst.A 15 year old girl experienced Horner's syndrome on the right side, paraesthesia of the right arm and meningitis. CT and MRI showed a cystic lesion on the right side of the cervical spine at C3/C4 which descended with an extraspinal portion down to C6. histology revealed a complex neurenteric cyst. The ipsilateral vertebral artery showed an atypical course. This abnormal artery besides a partial fusion of the vertebrae C2/C3/C4 suggest a complex malformation at the site of the cyst. Disturbed developmental relationships in this case indicate that pathological blood vessels may represent a risk factor in the surgical treatment of neurenteric cysts.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
16/44. Aneurysmal bone cyst of the mandible.The aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, solitary lesion of bone which is most commonly found in the long bones and vertebral column. Its occurrence in the mandible is uncommon. Because of its infrequent appearance, the ABC may be mistaken for neoplastic lesions. In the past, management has consisted of curettage, cryotherapy and local resection. In this publication we present a case of ABC of the mandible. We include a review of the literature, a discussion of the etiology, pathogenesis and management of this interesting lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
17/44. Vertebral aneurysmal bone cyst. A case report and review.The case of a 16-year-old boy with an aneurysmal bone cyst of the fourth lumbar vertebra and a herniated nucleus pulposus of the L4-5 disc is presented. Symptoms included progressive lower back pain and bilateral lower extremity weakness. Roentgenographic studies were consistent with a vertebral aneurysmal bone cyst with an expansile lesion that compromised the neural canal and an L4-5 herniated nucleus pulposus. Surgical treatment included tumor excision, L4-5 discectomy, lumbar decompression, and posterolateral and anterior lumbar fusion. Postoperatively, the lower back pain and lower extremity symptoms resolved. The patient continues to do well at 1-year follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
18/44. Aneurysmal bone cyst of the odontoid process: case report.Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are relatively uncommon, benign lesions. Fully 50% occur in long bones and 20% in the vertebral column, mostly in patients under 20 years of age. We report a case of an ABC in the odontoid process of a 74-year-old who sought treatment for pain and myelopathy. This is the first case reported of an ABC of the odontoid process.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |

20/44. Aneurysmal bone cyst of the maxillary sinus.Aneurysmal bone cyst is a cystic vascular osseous tumour which destroys and expands bone. The skeleton may be affected, the femur, tibia and the vertebral column being most commonly involved. It has previously been reported in the sphenoid sinus, this is the first reported case of such pathology in the maxillary sinus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = vertebra (Clic here for more details about this article) |
