Abstract
Percutaneous Scelrotherapy (1) is a safe alternative to surgery for Aneurysmal Bone Cyst.
We present a follow up case for the same.
Methods: We retrospective analyzed data from our patient with repeated injection of Polidocanol(2) .Each injection consisted of 2-4 mg polidocanol per kg of body weight.
Results: All cysts healed in time.
Interpretation: Our results shows percutaneous sclerotherapy with polidocanol has high efficiency in treatment of ABC with a low frequency of side effect.
Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC)(3) are rare expansile osteolytic tumour with annual incidence of 0.14 per 105.
Sclerosant acts by causing damage to endothelium of vessels and starting a coagulation cascade that results in thrombosis.
