Haemangioma

Understanding Spinal Haemangioma:

A spinal haemangioma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor composed of abnormal blood vessels in the vertebrae of the spine. While typically asymptomatic, it can cause pain, weakness, or neurological issues in some cases.

Symptoms of Spinal Haemangioma:

• Back pain, which may worsen with activity and improve with rest
• Weakness, numbness, or tingling in the legs (depending on nerve compression)
• Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
• In rare cases, bowel or bladder dysfunction

Diagnosis of Spinal Haemangioma:

Diagnosing spinal haemangioma often involves a combination of tests, including:

• Medical history and physical examination: Discussing your symptoms and performing a physical exam to assess pain, weakness, and neurological function.
• Imaging tests: X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans to visualize the location and size of the haemangioma and assess any associated complications.

Treatment Options at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating spinal haemangioma. The best treatment option depends on the severity of your symptoms and the characteristics of the haemangioma. Treatment options may include:

• Observation: In many cases, especially for asymptomatic haemangiomas, regular monitoring through imaging tests may be sufficient.
• Pain management: Medications and physical therapy can help manage pain and improve function.
• Embolization: A minimally invasive procedure where a material is injected into the blood vessels feeding the haemangioma to shrink it.
• Surgery: In rare cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the haemangioma, particularly if it is causing significant pain or neurological complications.

Hospitalization Care:

While most management of spinal haemangioma can be done on an outpatient basis, certain situations might require hospitalization:

• Undergoing embolization or surgical procedures, requiring an inpatient stay for monitoring and recovery.
• Experiencing severe pain or neurological complications requiring closer observation and management.
