Особенности проведения вертебропластики при гемангиомах шейного отдела позвоночника

Objective. To estimate peculiarities and results of vertebroplasty for hemangioma of the cervical spine. Material and Methods. A total of 18 patients (21 vertebrae) with cervical spine hemangiomas were operated on. Vertebroplasty was performed through anterolateral and posterior approaches under X-ray C-arm or CT guidance. Results. Pain syndrome regressed in all patients. Pain intensity was 6.6 ± 0.2 on VAS before surgery and 2.4 ± 0.2 after surgery. Neck disability index (NDI) was 21.5 ± 1.2 before surgery and 8.6 ± 0.9 after surgery. No complications were noted. Conclusion. The development of imaging techniques (CT, MRI) allows more frequent detection of cervical spine hemangiomas, and modern X-ray machines (EOC, CT) facilitate the vertebroplasty at all levels of the cervical spine.
