Direct epidural ethanol injection in aggressive vertebral hemangiomas to decompress the central canal: a multistep percutaneous treatment strategy
Direct epidural ethanol injection provides a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, such as corpectomy, including rapid size reduction of the compressive epidural component, and potentially, prevents retrograde flow into arterial collaterals. Adding vertebroplasty enhances vertebral stability.
