title: [Radiotherapy of vertebral hemangioma with neurologic complications].
abstract: The interest of radiotherapy in the treatment of compressive vertebral hemangiomas (H.V.C.) is discussed from a literature review. Recent advances in imaging permit to precisely define the target-volume. The dose of 35 grays with standard fractioning affords optimal results on H.V.C. with no risk of spinal cord damage.
