UNASSIGNED: Purpose: The sacrum is a rare but unfavourable location for @entity80 ( @entity80 ), surgical procedures aiming to achieve @entity5 control can be mutilating. Aim of this study was to evaluate whether selective arterial embolisation (AE) of ABC of the sacrum is an effective treatment and might be an alternative to surgical treatment options. Materials and Methods: Between 2007 and 2011 six @entity1 (mean age 13.7 years, range 8-18 years) with an ABC of the sacrum were treated by AE. Follow-up was performed by MRI-scans as well as clinical examination (mean 36.5 months, range 14-56 months). Results: No treatment related complications have been observed. AE resulted in devascularisation of ABC and led to @entity5 control in all @entity1 . A partial consolidation was noticed in three @entity1 . @entity158 relief was achieved in five of six @entity1 , @entity51 dissolved. In two @entity1 more than one embolization was necessary. In one of these @entity1 due to exacerbation of @entity158 a surgical decompression was performed. Conclusion: AE of sacral @entity80 can serve as an effective and safe treatment option. Thus it might be an alternative to potentially harmful surgical procedures. In case of ongoing @entity5 growth or @entity158 recurrence AE can be repeated. In case of treatment failure surgical interventions are still possible. Key Points:       transarterial embolisation enables @entity5 control in sacral @entity80      transarterial embolisation of sacral @entity80 is a safe procedure      in case of @entity5 are possible and effective Citation Format:       Henrichs MP, Beck L, Gosheger G etal.
