Abstract
Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign but locally aggressive bone tumors often located in vertebrae, long tubular bones and flat bones. A small percentage of aneurysmal bone cysts arise from the skull base. We aimed to present a rare case of aneurysmal bone cyst located in the petrous portion of the temporal bone in a 13-year-old boy. It was unique because it was the only case with early aggressive recurrence and fatal outcome and also was the only patient in this entity who had sixth cranial nerve palsy as the only presenting symptom. Although rare, petrous apex aneurysmal bone cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of isolated or coexistent sixth nerve palsy or a petrous apex mass, especially in the presence of typical MRI findings
