Aggressive hemangiomas invade the spinal canal and/or paravertebral space and may cause cord compression and neurological symptoms. Radiation therapy was recognized as an effective strategy for the treatment of aggressive hemangiomas. Here, it is reported the first case of aggressive vertebral hemangioma treated by a combination of intraoperative radiation therapy and kyphoplasty (Kypho-IORT).
