  1. HatemRajhi .MD Department of Radiology and Interventional Radiology- Charles Nicolle Hospital Tunis -Tunisia Treatment of vertebral hemangioma : what the interventional radiologist can do ?

  2. To illustrate through a series of observations documented therapeutic methods in the interventional treatment of vertebral hemangiomas PURPOSE

  3. 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)

  4. 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

  5. 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)

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Significant improvement of motor deficit. • Histologic diagnose: capillary hemangioma

  9. April 2009 (20 months later) • High back pain • Spastic paraparesis • Bilateral Babinski signs

  10. MRI sequences a,b,csagittale T2-weighted images d : sagittale T1 weighted images withcontrast injection e : axial T1 weighted image withcontrast injection a b c d e Is there an explanation for the current neurological symptoms  ?
