Abstract
The patient in this report had a fracture of a hemangiomatous vertebra with a fragment protruded into the canal and without neurological signs. There was a 12 month follow-up. After conservative treatment, there were no neurologic signs, a good fusion, and natural remodeling of the spinal canal. The risk of a hemangiomatous vertebra fracture with a fragment retropulsed into the spinal canal and without neurologic signs is low. Also, a remodeling of the spinal canal can occur, as after a burst fracture.
