SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

A clinical case of late-onset aggressive vertebral hemangioma with neurological signs

Pan African Medical Journal, Volume 37, Article 218, Year 2020

In the majority of asymptomatic cases, vertebral hemangiomas can be, in rare cases, symptomatic with purely neurological clinical manifestations. They commonly occur in young adults, exceptionally in elderly subjects. We here report a case of late onset aggressive vertebral hemangioma with neurological signs treated with decompressive surgery, sclerotherapy and cementoplasty, with favorable outcome.
