AI Article Synopsis
- - The aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign bone tumor that creates blood-filled cavities and is relatively rare, making up about 1% of bone tumors globally.
- - This case discusses a pediatric patient with a cervical spine aneurysmal bone cyst, who experienced muscle pain and movement difficulties but improved under a multidisciplinary treatment approach involving surgery, embolization, radiation, and bisphosphonates.
- - The study highlights that a multidisciplinary strategy significantly enhanced the patient's quality of life and functionality, although further research is needed to establish standardized therapeutic protocols for such cases.
Article Abstract
Background: The aneurysmal bone cyst is a benign neoplasm that tends to form the appearance of a mass with a bony septum that forms cavities with blood inside. It is estimated to represent 1% of bone tumours and has an incidence of 0.14 per 100,000 people worldwide. Current publications have not shown a multidisciplinary approach that can benefit patients, mainly in the functionality and quality of the management approach.
Objective: Describe the multidisciplinary approach and the benefits of quality of life and functionality in this diagnosis.
Case: A paediatric patient was diagnosed with an aneurysmal bone cyst located in the cervical spine, which initially manifested with muscle pain, enlargement of the posterior cervical region, and difficulty in performing arcs of movement. He was treated with multidisciplinary management with surgery, embolisation, radiation, and bisphosphonate support.
Conclusion: The purpose of approaching multidisciplinary management helped to improve the accompanying symptoms that prevented our patient from having an active and quality life. However, more successful cases have not been reported to establish the best therapeutic protocol.
