Abstract
Ethiopathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment of spinal haemangioma remains suggestive topic not only for surgeons. The development of diagnostic imaging methods allows more precise evaluation of the pathology and optimal therapeutic planning.
We have many therapeutic modalities: selective embolisation, radiotherapy, vertebroplasty, alcohol ablation and surgery. It depends on radiologic findings and clinical status which of them is used.
The treatment of emergent compression is still the domain of surgeon. In the therapy of haemangiomas causing local pain, we prefer less invasive procedures.
The interdisciplinary cooperation is required for the successful treatment.
