Chondroblastomas are rare benign cartilaginous neoplasms that primarily affect young patients. Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are also rare, accounting for 1-2% of all bone tumors, and can arise either idiopathically or as secondary lesions associated with other tumors, such as giant cell tumors or chondroblastomas. Here, we present a rare case of a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst arising in conjunction with a chondroblastoma located in the left diaphysis of the ulna.

Although the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) remains largely unclear, evidence is accumulating to suggest the systemic nature of this disease. Here, we comprehensively assessed the whole aortic tree with its major branches based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) in AAA patients compared to ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) patients and nonaneurysmal controls, as well as in an original mouse model of AAA in Lkb1;Myh11-Cre/ERT2 mice. The morphology and dimensions of the whole aorta (at different levels) and its major branches were compared among 47 AAA patients, 47 ATAA patients, and 46 nonaneurysmal controls based on CTA images.

Titanium mini-plates are commonly used for bone flap fixation in craniotomy and are particularly essential for covering burr holes. Plate exposure through the scalp may occur because of scalp thinning caused by infection or local ischemia, and penetration of the scalp by a titanium mini-plate that had been bent by a minor head injury are rare. A 69-year-old man who had undergone covering of a burr hole in the calvarium by a titanium plate for clipping of a ruptured aneurysm 17 years ago was referred to our clinic to examine metal protruding through the scalp.

Background: Spinal aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are challenging to manage due to high vascularity and proximity to critical structures. Two patients with large, symptomatic thoracic ABCs are presented.
Observations: Preoperative tumor embolization via pedicle artery sacrifice was performed prior to planned resection to reduce intraoperative blood loss and the risk of postoperative neurological deficits.

Objective: To evaluate the application of Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) combined with 3D-Slicer software reconstruction technology in the diagnosis and preoperative planning of intracranial aneurysms, and to explore its positive significance in improving surgical outcomes for patients.
Methods: From January 2021 to December 2023, a total of 24 patients diagnosed with intracranial aneurysms (25 cases) underwent craniotomy clipping surgery. We utilized 3D-Slicer to render and fuse preoperative CTA image data, and to formulate individualized surgical plans, including approach, bone window, anticipated protection of the aneurysm-bearing artery and perforating arteries, and compared these with the actual surgical procedures.
