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.
