Case Reports
[Aneurysmal bone cyst of the cranial base treated by partial resection and calcitonin injection. A case report].
First published report of a cranial aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) treated successfully with intralesional injection of calcitonin. ⋯ We reviewed the pertinent literature concerning percutaneous treatment of ABC. The percutaneous intralesionnal injection of calcitonin was reported in the literature only in 3 publications reporting 9 cases that did not involve the skull. This treatment seems safe and effective, worthy in cranial base ABCs that are difficult to resect completely.
