Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Hemangioma of the T1 vertebral body is a congenital condition, and its exact pathogenesis remains unclear, although it may be related to genetic factors. In the early stages, T1 vertebral hemangioma typically presents no obvious clinical symptoms. However, as the tumor increases in size, patients commonly experience restricted movement and back pain. Therefore, medical attention should be sought promptly once symptoms appear. Surgical treatment is generally effective and can lead to a cure.
