※ Aim

Pneumatocysts are benign, gas-containing lesions, most commonly observed affecting the vertebrae, sacrum, and ileum. These lesions are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally during CBCT examinations. Recognition of the pathognomonic features of this benign, innocuous lesion is important to avoid unnecessary investigations and causing alarm to the patient.

※ Introduction

Intraosseous gas collection is considered an uncommon finding affecting the vertebral bodies. It has been associated with various pathologic conditions that include gas-forming osteomyelitis, osteonecrosis, trauma, and surgery. However, an innocuous and relatively more common cause of intraosseous gas collection in the vertebral bodies is the intraosseous pneumatocyst.

Four cases of intravertebral pneumatocysts, selected from UCLA radiology archive. All four cases were detected as incidental findings on CBCT scans.

4. Communication with the intervertebral joint space:

Only 9 of the 21 reported cases specifically commented which was present in 2 of the 9 cases (22%)

5. Coexisting degenerative changes in the cervical spine:

17 of the 21 cases (80%) 6. Location:

C5 (48%) C6 (24%)

1. Case:

The study by Matsukubo et al. examined computed tomography (CT) scans of 500 patients, 213 patients were detected.42% (213/500)

2. Age:

Mean age 63.4 years 40s or younger: 8% (7/86) Older than 80s : 60% (40/66) 3. Gender:

Not provided

4. Communication with the intervertebral joint space:

53% (275/518)

5. Coexisting degenerative changes in the cervical spine:

69% (148/213) 6. Location:

C5 (26%) C6 (35%)

※ Discussion

1. Feature:

Bening gas-containing, small, well-circumscribed, radiolucent lesion delineated by a sclerotic rim; painless

2. Pathogenesis:

Not fully understand

One theory is that gas accumulation in the intervertebral disk, known as the vacuum phenomenon, extends into the vertebral body through a defect in a degenerated end plate.

Other proposed etiologies include spontaneous gas accumulation and secondary gas accumulation in a simple fluid-filled cyst.

3. Location:

Lower cervical spine

C5-C6, which are sites more susceptible to degenerative changes due to lordosis Outside of the cervical spine, the pneumatocyst is known to occur most frequently in the

region of the sacroiliac joint.

4. Prevalence:

Until recently, the lesion has been described as rare, especially in the cervical spine.

(5)

42% (213/500) study by Matsukubo et al.

The higher prevalence in the more recent reports may also reflect increasing recognition and knowledge of this lesion.

5. Pathognomonic:

On plain radiographs, the lesion has been mistaken for more invasive lesions, such as metastasis or multiple myeloma. However, the gas-attenuating nature of the lesion on CT and CBCT is pathognomonic. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the presentation is less specific. The lesion demonstrates hypointense signals on both T1- and T2-weighted images, without gadolinium enhancement. Notably, bone lesions, such as enostosis, fibrous dysplasia, and blastic metastasis, also demonstrate similar MRI appearances.

6. Radiographic differential diagnosis: degenerative changes, subchondral cysts, gas-forming osteomyelitis, simple bone cysts, and Schmorl nodes.

1). The air-attenuation characteristics and regular borders are pathognomonic imaging features of the pneumatocyst and are usually sufficient to exclude these other diagnoses.

2). Subchondral cyst: Subchondral cysts are areas of subarticular degeneration and contain granulation tissue. Similar to pneumatocysts, these lesions are typically accompanied by other signs of osteoarthritis, such as osteophytes and cortical erosions.

Although radiolucent, these lesions have the attenuation characteristics of soft tissue features, in contrast to the air attenuation features of pneumatocysts, which allows distinction of these two lesions.

3).Schmorl node: The term Schmorl node refers to a degenerative phenomenon in which protrusions of the intervertebral disk occur through the vertebral endplate and into the vertebral body.

7. Natural course:

Remains unclear- the lesions may enlarge, remain stable, or even resolve into fluid-filled cysts.

8. Treatment:

Not required, except the lesions become large enough to occupy most of the vertebral

Body

※ Conclusion

Familiarity with the demographic and radiographic characteristics of this lesion is of importance to dentists and oral and maxillofacial radiologists to avoid unnecessary investigation of this benign, innocuous lesion and to avoid causing alarm to the patients.

Treatment of these lesions is not required. However, given the risk of enlargement of the lesion, follow-up radiographic examination is prudent.
