Can trauma cause vertebral hemangioma?

Vertebral hemangiomas are really verterbral vascular malformations, either venous, lymphatic or arterio-venous.

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.
