title: [Exploration of diagnosis and treatment of maxillary aneurysmal bone cyst (report of 4 cases and review of literature)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the diagnosis and treatment of maxillary aneurysmal bone cyst.
  
  
  METHODS
  For 4 cases with maxillary aneurysmal bone cyst, 1 case underwent radical maxillary sinusotomy in local anaesthesia and 3 cases underwent lateral rhinotomy in general anaestesia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The 4 cases were followed up for 13 months to 2 years after operation and no patient was found recurrence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The main treatment of aneurysmal bone cyst was radical operation, to strive for thorough treatment. Confirming and embolizing the feed artery by DSA preoperatively can reduce bleeding during operation and shorten the time of operation and general anesthesia obviously.
