An unusual case of symptomatic thoracic vertebral hemangioma involving two contiguous vertebrae but confined to the posterior elements is presented. The lesion displaced and compressed the cord. The diagnosis was not considered prior to biopsy. There was uncontrolled bleeding at biopsy. Only partial surgical resection was performed, with incomplete relief of motor weakness after initial surgery. The patient refused further surgical resection. Motor power was gradually recovered after a course of postoperative radiotherapy.
本文报道了一例罕见的有症状的胸椎血管瘤病例，该血管瘤累及两个相邻椎体，但仅局限于后部结构。病变使脊髓移位并受压。活检前未考虑到该诊断。活检时出现难以控制的出血。仅进行了部分手术切除，初次手术后运动无力未完全缓解。患者拒绝进一步手术切除。经过一个疗程的术后放疗后，运动能力逐渐恢复。
