The dangers of lumbar hemangiomas

Lumbar hemangioma is a kind of benign tumor of the vertebral body, which usually has no obvious symptoms, but some hemangiomas have the risk of causing destruction of the vertebral body, compression of the nerves, hemorrhage and so on. 1. Vertebral body destruction: some hemangiomas can cause vertebral body destruction, resulting in the decrease of the firmness of the vertebral body, which is prone to pathological fracture. 2. Compression of nerves: some hemangiomas may protrude backward and compress the spinal cord, cauda equina and other nerve tissues, which may lead to lower limb pain, numbness, limitation of movement, abnormal sensation of perineal area and anus and other symptoms. 3. Hemorrhage: some hemangiomas are large, and they rupture and bleed under the external force, especially for those with coagulation dysfunction, the patients may suffer from hemorrhage, even endangering their lives. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination, according to the patient’s symptoms and hemangioma for further treatment.
