ABSTRACT
CT was used to localize and guide the percutaneous ablation of osteoid osteomas in 11 patients whose age ranged 5 to 63 years. The treatment was performed directly in the CT room ensuring maximum asepsis. General anesthesia was used in children and in vertebral and sacroiliac localizations, while the peripheral block was used in peripheral localizations. In the latter cases, an ischemic band was used to reduce bleeding. A dedicated drill resection system guided by a Kirschner guide wire was used for removal. The treatment was curative in the short period in all the patients, with complete symptom remission. Only one patient required retreatment after 6 months. In our series of patients no major complications, e.g., bleeding or infections, were observed. In 8 cases the resection yielded enough material for histology. To conclude, this technique can be considered a valuable alternative to surgery in the treatment of osteoid osteomas.
