[Air in the bone? Diagnosis and treatment of a pneumatocyst of the ilium. Apropos of a case].

We present a case of symptomatic pneumatocyst of the ilium observed in a professional scuba diver exposed to pressure variations. Pneumatocysts are rare and except for one case reported in a clavicular localization, are always found in subchondral bone of the iliac or sacral side of the sacroiliac joint. Undoubtedly, air fills an intraosseous node. We report here the first case of efficient treatment achieved by filling the cyst via percutaneous access under scopic control.
