Aggressive Spinal Hemangioma
- Conditions
- Aggressive Spinal Hemangiomas
- Registration Number
- NCT06996873
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief Summary
This research is a case series analysis to evaluate aggressive vertebral hemangiomas. It focuses on clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging accuracy (X-ray, MRI, MSCT, angiography), and treatment efficacy. The primary goal is to establish optimal management protocols.
- Detailed Description
Hybrid methodology integrating retrospective case reviews (from Assiut University Hospital's Orthopedic Surgery Department) with synthesis of existing literature.
Objectives:
Characterize clinical presentations and imaging findings. Compare diagnostic accuracy across modalities. Analyze treatment outcomes, including procedural success rates and complications.
Tools:
Imaging: X-ray for initial screening, MRI/MSCT for soft tissue and spinal cord involvement, angiography for vascular mapping.
