Study Design: Case report
Objective: We report two cases of vertebral body haemangioma with atypical radiological features causing neurological deficit.
Summary of Literature Review: Vertebral haemangiomas are usually asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during imaging.
However, complications such as pain, neurological deficit, vertebral body fracture can arise due to different mechanisms.
Materials and Method: We report two cases of vertebral hemangioma of dorsal spine with atypical radiological features.
Results: Good pain relief, neurological recovery and functional outcome was achieved by embolization and surgical decompression/ tumor resection along with stabilization in case of aggressive vertebral hemangioma. Aggressive vertebral hemangioma may present with atypical radiographic features.
Conclusions: Aggressive vertebral haemangioma may have atypical radiographic presentation. Surgical decompression is one of the preferred treatment of it.
