Percutaneous Sclerotherapy With Absolute Alcohol to Treat Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Frontal Bone

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) rarely occur in the cranial bone. Surgical resection can lead to bone defects, deformities, functional abnormalities, and so on. This article describes a frontal ABC in a 73-year-old man who has a rapidly increasing swelling in the frontal bone preceded by an accidental trauma. In this case, we use percutaneous sclerotherapy with absolute alcohol under the guidance of fluoroscopy to treat the ABC instead of traditional surgical resection. When analyzed the follow-up imaging, bone reconstruction happened after using absolute alcohol. It is a feasible alternative treatment for ABC arising from the cranial bone.
