Radiotherapy of Vertebral Hemangiomas

“…In this series, 11 out of 13 patients obtained complete pain relief and have had no recurrence of pain for 2 to 13.5 years after irradiation, nor have any complications been observed. Several reports have also suggested the long-term beneficial effects of radiotherapy with permanent pain relief (9,12). We think that radiotherapy should be used for medically refractory pain caused by vertebral hemangioma.…”

“…Most authors recommend 30-40 Gy and find that 60-80% of patients obtain permanent and significant improvement of symptoms such as pain, numbness and paraplegia (9,11,12). However.…”

“…Decompressive surgery with or without postoperative irradiation has been the therapy of choice for lesions causing spinal-cord compression (1 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In this series, the patient with paraplegia who was treated with laminectomy followed by radiotherapy improved completely.…”

Primary Tumors of the Spine

“…Neurological symptoms may occur as a result of neural compression caused by cortical expansion or soft tissue extension beyond the vertebral body. Hemangiomas are extremely radiosensitive, and low-dose radiation has been shown to be effective as a treatment for symptomatic lesions (54,55). Similarly, embolization via angiography has been shown to be effective (56,57).…”
