HAEMANGIOMA OF L1 VERTEBRAL BODY: TREATMENT WITH PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2007, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Haemangioma are common benign tumoral lesions found in vertebral bodies. Approximately 50% of osseous haemangioma are found in the bodies of lumbar and lower thoracic vertebrae. Treatment of haemangioma is unnecessary unless the lesion is symptomatic. Only 1% of vertebral haemangioma are symptomatic. Patients with symptomatic haemangioma most commonly have pain. A 59-year-old housewife was appealed to us with a 4-year history of back pain. Her pain was of no traumatic origin. The pain was showing neither any diurnal differences nor any response to analgesics. Radiologic and magnetic resonance imaging evaluations were performed. There were no abnormal laboratory findings. A symptomatic haemangioma in L1 vertebral body was our decision. A percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed under local anaesthesia. Pain relief was impressing even in early postoperative period. Patient discharged from hospital at postoperative first day on foot.
