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

## TL;DR

A patient with two adjacent lumbar atypical hemangiomas was successfully treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty, a minimally invasive procedure that relieved pain without affecting spinal stability.

## Contribution

This case report presents percutaneous vertebroplasty as a potential treatment option for adjacent atypical vertebral hemangiomas.

## Key findings

- Percutaneous vertebroplasty effectively relieved the patient's pain.
- The procedure did not compromise spinal column stability.
- PV is a viable treatment for selected cases of adjacent atypical vertebral hemangiomas.

## Abstract

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.
