    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Vertebral hemangiomas are the most common primary vertebral tumor of the spine, usually with vascular origin (capillary and venous malformations), and are detected incidentally in most cases. The occurrence of vertebral hemangiomas is more common in women than men and is more symptomatic in the fourth decade of life. The exact etiology is not well understood. An increase in daily living activity leads to vertebral hemangioma becoming painful. The proliferation of hemangiomas causes erosion of bone and, in some cases, causes encroachment into the spinal canal.
Case Report: We present a case of a 37-year-old man with gradually progressive paraplegia and a D2 level infiltrative mass causing compression on the spinal cord.
Conclusion: A patient with vertebral hemangioma with spinal cord compression, if diagnosed correctly and treated early with surgical intervention, results in a good prognostic outcome.</abstract>
