Percutaneous Vertebroplasty as the Treatment of Choice for Multiple Adjacent Lumbar Atypical Haemangiomas: A Case Report

Atypical vertebral haemangiomas (VHs) are uncommon lesions that cause lumbar pain and motor symptoms. Current management mainly relies on radiotherapy, surgical spine decompression, or percutaneous techniques. We describe a unique case of a patient with two adjacent lumbar VHs and an underlying lumbar fracture which was treated only by percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV). The non-invasive technique relieved the patient's pain and did not affect column stability. PV may be considered an amenable pain-relieving treatment for adjacent atypical VHs in selected patients.
