A case of multiple vertebral hemangiomas with progressive neurological deficit is presented. Successful treatment was accomplished using preoperative embolization, palliative surgical decompression, and postoperative radiation therapy. The patient has remained asymptomatic for 6 years. The authors review the role of current imaging modalities and options for therapeutic intervention. Preoperative embolization, palliative surgical decompression, and postoperative radiotherapy appear to provide a satisfactory outcome in patients with multiple hemangiomas and may represent an effective alternative to more aggressive surgical intervention.
