Abstract
- The authors describe a case of aneurysmal bone cyst of a thoracic vertebra. A 34-year-old woman presented with posterior neck and upper back pain. Radiological examination demonstrated an aneurysmal bone cyst involving the posterior elements of the second thoracic vertebra. The spinal cord was compressed severely also. Satisfactory results were obtained after complete resection of the lesion.
