Abstract
Vertebral hemangiomas are among the most frequent findings of the spinal radiographic evaluation. The majority of them do not cause any harm to the patient and stay dormant throughout the patients’ lifetime. When diagnosed, a careful differential should be performed considering all of the spinal red flags in mind. For symptomatic patients, according to the patient’s presentation, there are various options for treatment. This chapter summarizes the pathology and potential treatment options.
