Atypical hemangioma in the spine

Posted by katrina123 @katrina123, Nov 23, 2022

I just saw the results of my spinal MRI on my patient portal and the doctor has not called me back yet.
Have any of you ever had an atypical intravertebral hemangioma on your spine? Mine is on T12 and L2. (I am having terrible back pain.)

The word atypical is the word that concerns me.

@katrina123 I have a couple hemangiomas in my vertebrae too. Results of imaging need the consideration by a specialist, so don't worry too much right now since you are awaiting advice of your doctor. It may not be something of concern. With the holiday weekend, it will likely take a few days before you hear from the doctor. Often a hemangioma has no symptoms and does not need treatment which is true of mine. I am a spine surgery patient and had a fusion of C5/C6 several years ago. Is this the first time you have had imaging of your spine?
