Hemangiomas are benign tumors of the capillary endothelium involved in varied clinical and pathologic entities. Congenital hemangioma is quite rare compared to infantile hemangioma. Hemangiomas rarely occur in bone. Intraosseous hemangiomas are most commonly found in the vertebral column and skull. The mandible is the most frequently affected skull bone. Intraosseous hemangiomas commonly presen...

28 Purpose: This study was carried out to analyze volumes and localization of vertebral 29 hemangiomas in T12-L5 levels on MRI in patients with low back pain. 30 Methods: Thoraco-lumbar MR images were examined retrospectively in a total of 150 31 patients. Hemangiomas observed in vertebral bodies on sagittal vertebral sections were 32 assessed and data were evaluated to get ratios regarding sex...

Vertebral hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions of bone , composed multiple thin-walled vessels surrounded by fat infiltrating the medullary cavity between bony trabeculae.(1) Hemangiomas account for around 2-3% all spinal tumors and only 0.9-1.2% these symptomatic. Surgery is recommended if they progress rapidly cause neurological deficits. 47 years old female patient presented with bilatera...

Osseous hemangiomas are benign bone tumors that are most commonly found in the calvarium and vertebral bodies. Hemangiomas of the skull base usually are found in the temporal bone. Hemangioma of the clivus is extremely rare and only one case in the basi-sphenoid region [1] and two cases in the body of the sphenoid have been reported [1, 2]. We present the clinical and radiologic findings of an ...

Vertebral hemangiomas are common; however, aggressive vertebral hemangiomas with extraosseous extensions causing neurological deficits are rare. The treatment for this subtype of hemangioma remains controversial, since there are few reports on long-term clinical outcomes or tumor recurrence rates. We describe a case of aggressive vertebral hemangioma treated by total en bloc spondylectomy, with...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although uncommon, symptomatic vertebral hemangiomas can be a painful condition limiting daily activities. Balloon kyphoplasty is a developing technique that has successfully been used in the treatment of vertebral hemangiomas as reported in a few publications. The aim of this paper is to describe 2 cases of painful vertebral hemangiomas effectively treated with percut...

With the advent of high-resolution CT, criteria for the diagnosis of intraspinal hemangiomas have been established . These consist of the presence of intracanalicular soft-tissue masses of mild to moderately hyperdense attenuation with variable degrees of contrast enhancement, primarily in association with vertebral hemangioma [1-6]. The presence of calcification in the intraspinal soft-tissue ...
