The bone cyst is a soft, filled in a liquid in the bone, which weakens the bone and increases the probability of fracture. Meets both in children and adults.
The most common type of bone cyst is a simple (solitary) cyst bone. She usually arises in long bones (legs and hands) growing children, and more common in boys than girls. More older children and adult bone cysts usually occur usually in flat bones, such as pelvis, jaw, chest or skull.
Relatively rare bone cyst - aneurysmatic (aneurysmal) bone cyst. She meets with one of the millions. The significant majority (75%) of the aneurysmatic bones appear in 10-20 years, and they are more common in women than in men. Most often, they arise in the spine and long bones, and from solitary, they differ from the fact that they are filled with blood.
Bone cysts are usually not manifested, and are found only at a turn or during an X-ray study for another reason. Rarely, bone cysts can cause visible swelling or pain.
Causes of bone cyst development
The reasons for the development of the bone cyst are almost unknown, although they may appear after injury, for example, with an unsuccessful fall, and may affect people who have osteoarthritis and rheumatic arthritis. In addition, the risk of bone cyst is high in humans with chronic gout.
The most frequent complication caused by a bone is a fracture. If the cyst is active, t.E. gradually increases, for a fracture is quite the easiest and insignificant impact.
