  • Title: A minimally invasive vertebral hemangioma.
    Author: Van den Broeck S, Mailleux P, Joris JP.
    Journal: JBR-BTR; 2010; 93(1):1-3. PubMed ID: 20397424.
    Abstract:
    We describe a very unusual vertebral hemangioma presenting with a mixture of aggressive-like pattern (epidural extension, T1 hyposignal) and quiescent, inactive lesion (fatty infiltration), in association with a spiculated calcified epidural component.This paper emphasizes that CT and/or MR findings are accurate enough to make formal assessment of vertebral hemangioma, preventing patient's anguish and moreover unnecessary treatment. Furthermore this attractive case proposes a poorly known characteristic of vertebral hemangioma which is usually encountered and described only in skull hemangiomas.
