    Radiologists can identify vertebral hemangiomas (VH) that may compress the spinal cord by looking for specific features on imaging. Three or more concerning signs suggest a symptomatic VH requiring further investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Vertebral hemangiomas (VH) are common benign vascular tumors.
    • Distinguishing asymptomatic from symptomatic VHs is crucial for patient management.
    • Spinal cord compression by VHs can lead to neurological deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify radiographic and computed tomographic (CT) criteria differentiating asymptomatic from spinal cord-compressing vertebral hemangiomas (VH).

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of radiologic studies (radiography and CT) for 57 solitary VHs.
    • Analysis of imaging features associated with spinal cord compression.
    • Correlation of imaging findings with clinical presentation.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Six features were significantly more common in VHs causing cord compression: T3-T9 location, entire vertebral body involvement, neural arch extension, expanded/indistinct cortex, honeycomb pattern, and soft-tissue mass.
    • Contrast-enhanced CT and spinal angiography confirmed intraspinal extension.
    • Presence of ≥3 features suggested symptomatic VH.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific imaging findings on radiography and CT can predict VH-related spinal cord compression.
    • Patients with suspected symptomatic VH and ≥3 identified features warrant further vascular imaging (angiography) and potential intervention (embolization).
