Arterial embolization of aneurysmal bone cysts in children.
The long-term results of six aneurysmal bone cysts in children treated by selective arterial embolization are reported. All the cysts were large and difficult to treat by surgery. To date, no surgical treatment has been required in these children and an almost complete restoration of the original shape of the affected bones has been achieved.
