Background:
Aggressive vertebral hemangiomas are rare tumors of the spine. The treatment management strategy usually consists of vertebroplasty, radiation therapy, or, in rare cases of surgical strategy.
Case Description:
We present a case of a bulging sacral S1-S2 hemangioma in the spinal canal that could not be managed in the usual manner.
Conclusion:
Here we demonstrate the usefulness of radiofrequency ablation technique as an alternative treatment, as well as robotic assistance for optimal placement of the ablation probe within the lesion.
