HatemRajhi .MD Department of Radiology and Interventional Radiology- Charles Nicolle Hospital Tunis -Tunisia Treatment of vertebral hemangioma : what the interventional radiologist can do ?
To illustrate through a series of observations documented therapeutic methods in the interventional treatment of vertebral hemangiomas PURPOSE
VertebralHémangioma (VH) • The most common benign tumor of the spine• Multiple in 25% of cases• Peak incidence: 40-60 years• Slow-growing lesion• benign vascular dysplasia capillary Cavernous (most common) or Venous INTRODUCTION (Picture takenfromwebsite:www.back.com/causes-tumors-benign.html)
When to treat a spinal hemangioma? Usually asymptomatic, discovered incidentally. Only 0.9% to 1.2% of cases become symptomatic:Aggressive Hemangioma Local pain, Radiological aggressiveness Neurologic deficit INTRODUCTION
Background: Semiology of vertebral HemangiomaRadiographic findings Vertical striations and trabeculations “Honeycomb” appearence. CT axial image “Polka dot” appearance of the involved vertebra MRI increased signal on T1- and T2 weighted images (intralesional fat)
Spine level between T3 to T10• Involvement of the entire vertebral body• Extension to the posterior arch• Discontinuous cortical bone • Lyticappearence• Paraspinal or intra ductal expansion• Low signal intensity on T1-weighted images • Intense enhancement after contrast injection Signs of aggressiveness on imaging of Vertebral Hemangioma
CASE N°1 A 18 years old patient 09/08/2007 Neurological dysfunction due to spinal cord compression.Radiographic findings: aggressive vertebral hemangioma T310/08/2007bilateral T3 laminectomyFollow-up: worsening paraparesisImmediate revision surgery: epidural hematoma evacuation
Significant improvement of motor deficit. • Histologic diagnose: capillary hemangioma
April 2009 (20 months later) • High back pain • Spastic paraparesis • Bilateral Babinski signs
