[Vertebroplasty success in a case of aggressive hemangioma].
Vertebral hemangioma is a vascular tumor most oftenly asymptomatic and of casual radiological discovery. More rarely, it can be aggressive, causing neurological complications and therefore requiring a convenient and sustained therapy where vertebroplasty is of essential importance. In this context, we report a case of an aggressive vertebral angioma of L4 which was responsible for lumbocruralgy. She underwent verterbroplasty and then had a very good outcome. In this way we deal with the the different technics of vertebroplasty, their advantages compared to other therapeutic medical, and or surgical methods, as well as their complications.
