title: Aneurysmal bone cyst in the temporal bone and complete resection with preoperative embolization. A case report.
abstract: We describe a rare case of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) that occurred in the petrous portion of the temporal bone. The ABCs were treated with preoperative embolization and complete removal of the mass from the adjacent tissue. The technical details suggest that preoperative embolization is a good treatment option for ABCs.
