Can trauma cause vertebral hemangioma?
Vertebral hemangiomas are really verterbral vascular malformations, either venous, lymphatic or arterio-venous. Hemangiomas only occur in infants but are often confused with their cousin - the vascular malformation. And, yes, it is typical for a venous malformation to arise from direct trauma. Since it is in the spinal area the person with this condition should contact one of our medical experts or someone who really knows how to treat these lesions. Boston Children's Hospital has a huge team and they treat adults and children and will review imaging studies for free. They also accept most insurances.
