Aneurysmal bone cyst of the odontoid process: case report
Neurosurgery.
1991 Apr.
Abstract
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.
