Percutaneous #Verterboplasty as Treatment of Symptomatic Vertebral #Hemangioma by Shaharuddin Abdul Rhani, in BJSTR

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.
