Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign bone lesions. The incidence of aneurysmal bone cyst in the skull showed a reported incidence of 1% of all aneurysmal bone cysts. Trauma was assumed as an important etiologic factor in inducing the formation of an aneurysmal bone cyst. However, the exact pathogenesis is not well known. Three reports were found in the literature showing the involvement of the clivus by an aneurysmal bone cyst. We report a case of 40 years old male who presented with a headache and blurry vision. Radiographic evaluation of the lesion was done by computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. We found the lesion to be an aneurysmal bone cyst that showed a well-demarcated expansible osseous lytic clival mass lesion that extends into the dorsum sella and sphenoid bone.
