The commonest sign is pain and rarely causes neurological symptom or pathologic fracture. Case Report: The patient was a 55 year old man with the history of back pain for 2 year and a progressive gait disturbance within 3 weak before admission. Both legs were spastic on ex-amination and an aggressive hemangioma of T7 vertebrae with epidural extension was dis-closed in imaging. He had simultaneously asymptomatic hemangioma of T11. He underwent neoadjuvant embolization and anterior corpectomy and both anterior and posterior fixation. After 3 months the patient’s operative myelopathy symptoms resolved and after one year follow-up he was asymptomatic. Conclusion: Despite the high prevalence of vertebral hemangioma it rarely causes myelopathy and needs surgical treatment. %> http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-83-en.pdf %P 240-244 %& 240 %! %9 Case Report %L A-10-2-59 %+ %G eng %@ 2588-722X %[ 2014
