CURRENT METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF SPINAL HEMANGIOMAS
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2008.4.42-46
Abstract
The paper presents a review of current knowledge on symptomatic vertebral hemangiomas. The review has shown that hemangiomas in some cases require surgical correction to stabilize the injured spinal motion segment, to prevent vertebral body fracture and tumor invasion into the spinal canal. Percutaneous vertebroplasty, along with open surgical treatment, endovascular embolization, and ethylene injection into hemangioma, is a method of choice due its safety and efficacy in the treatment of symptomatic vertebral hemangiomas.
