- Abstract
Haemangioma are benign, vasoformative lesions of endothelial origin. A minority of patients with a vertebral location are symptomatic with neck or back pain. Neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression are rare and mostly observed at the thoracic and upper lumbar spine. Treatment is indicated in case of relevant symptomatology. Several invasive treatment modalities exist such as surgery and intralesional injections, but radiotherapy is the most common treatment for painful lesions. We report a case of a patient with symptomatic bifocal vertebral haemangioma (d9, l3) associated with dorsal and lumbar pain treated simultaneously using a cyberknife® vsi system, with a significant reduction of pain and a limited toxicity.
