    Abstract:
    The authors report on the efficacy of balloon kyphoplasty applied to obliteration of symptomatic cervical hemangioma. This 49-year-old woman suffered from progressive neck pain, numbness of the upper extremities, and frequent headaches. Hemangioma of the C-7 vertebral body was diagnosed. Kyphoplasty was performed successfully through a right anterolateral approach. The patient became asymptomatic, and follow-up examinations confirmed complete recovery. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of cervical hemangioma treated by balloon kyphoplasty.
