Abstract: An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign lesion often found in long bones. Almost one third of ABCs are secondary to primary tumors. When found in the spine, ABCs can cause insidious back pain and, in rare cases, neurological deficits. This case will discuss an adolescent female who acquired a non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) as a result of complications from an aneurysmal bone cyst. Treatment consisted of surgical removal of the cyst, laminectomy, corpectomy, and fusion of the thoracic spine. Following surgical intervention, the child spent several weeks in an acute inpatient pediatric rehabilitation facility. Goal oriented outpatient services facilitated further recovery and led to near complete resolution of symptoms associated with non-traumatic spinal cord injury. Contemporary and clinically oriented child and family interventions are essential in successful rehabilitation of children with NTSCI as a result of ABCs.
