Disease description:

Recently, I haven't been feeling well and went for a check-up. The doctor told me I have a thoracic vertebral hemangioma. I'd like to ask, what are the early symptoms of thoracic vertebral hemangioma?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Thoracic vertebral hemangiomas are generally small in the early stages and usually do not cause obvious symptoms. As the hemangioma gradually enlarges and compresses surrounding nerves and blood vessels, it may lead to radiating pain, weakness, and numbness in the limbs. If the hemangioma is large, trauma or external stimuli may cause rupture, resulting in severe hemorrhage. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary once a thoracic vertebral hemangioma is diagnosed.
