Anterior cervical cystic degeneration can be left untreated if the cystic degeneration is small. If the cystic changes are large, surgical options are available. Vertebral cystic disease, also known as a vertebral bone cyst, is a benign mass. If the cystic degeneration is small and has no significant effect on the structure and stability of the cervical vertebrae, it can be left untreated and is usually reviewed every six months to a year. If the cystic degeneration is large, it can damage the structure of the cervical vertebrae and reduce the strength of the vertebrae, making them susceptible to fracture in the event of trauma, and can be treated surgically. The cystic degeneration is removed and implanted with either autogenous or allogeneic bone, and internal fixation is performed to maintain the stability of the cervical vertebrae. If cystic degeneration is found in the anterior aspect of the cervical vertebrae, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a complete examination and receive regular treatment.
