title: Aneurysmal bone cysts of the spine.
abstract: Two cases of aneurysmal bone cyst of the spine are reported. These rather rare tumours may pose initial diagnostic problems. If, however, the clinical and radiological features are studied, diagnosis should be easy and the appropriate treatment will follow. Computed tomography provides an additional diagnostic aid. Management appears to be primarily surgical, but the role of radiotherapy has not yet been clearly defined.
