Congenital generalized lipodystrophy, also known as Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder associated with osteosclerosis and cystic intramedullary bone lesions. However, the transition from generalized osteosclerosis in the young patient to the development of cystic intramedullary bone lesions in areas converting from red to yellow marrow in the growing child has not been previously described. We present a young man with congenital generalized lipodystrophy, followed in our clinic from age 5 years through age 14 years, and document the development over time of dramatic cystic lesions within previously sclerotic long bones. The location of these intramedullary bone cysts appears to mirror the transition of red (hematopoietic) to yellow (fatty) marrow in the maturing child. Recognition of this pattern may affect recommended physical activity and subsequent orthopedic management. Read More

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign expansile osseous lesions which may behave locally aggressively, leading to growth plate destruction, angular deformity, and pathologic fracture. Current treatments such as curettage and bone graft reconstruction, sclerosis, and intra-arterial embolization have high recurrence rates and morbidity. Percutaneous cryoablation is a promising new treatment modality. Three patients with ABCs underwent cryoablation at our institution and follow-up MRIs over the span of a year were obtained. This is the first study of its kind to elucidate the imaging findings post-cryoablation of ABCs, which may help the radiologist interpret response to treatment. Read More

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are expansile lytic lesions and can cause significant disability and pain most commonly seen in patients 10-30 years old. This study evaluates the technical feasibility, safety, and efficacy of percutaneous management of ABCs in pediatric and adolescent patients.
