Abstract
#Vertebralhemangioma is a benign #vascularlesion composing of new and
malformed #bloodvessels, which occurs in the #spine. These
tumors are usually asymptomatic and are incidentally diagnosed during
#magneticresonance imaging, performed for other purposes. However,
patients may present with pain if there is neural arch expansion,
vertebral body enlargement or direct compression to the spinal cord or
nerve
roots. A number of treatments such as radiotherapy and surgery are used
in the treatment of symptomatic patients but both methods have
been burdened by complications. Percutaneous verterbroplasty, a
minimally invasive procedure, has emerged as a treatment of symptomatic
vertebral hemangioma with satisfactory results and low complication
rates. We present here a case of symptomatic vertebral #hemangioma,
which was treated with #percutaneousvertebroplasty.
