Overview

This research is a case series analysis to evaluate aggressive vertebral hemangiomas. It focuses on clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging accuracy (X-ray, MRI, MSCT, angiography), and treatment efficacy. The primary goal is to establish optimal management protocols.

Hybrid methodology integrating retrospective case reviews (from Assiut University Hospital's Orthopedic Surgery Department) with synthesis of existing literature. Objectives: Characterize clinical presentations and imaging findings. Compare diagnostic accuracy across modalities. Analyze treatment outcomes, including procedural success rates and complications. Tools: Imaging: X-ray for initial screening, MRI/MSCT for soft tissue and spinal cord involvement, angiography for vascular mapping.
