Abstract
We report a 17-year-old asymptomatic patient with a partially collapse d seventh cervical vertebra due to a haemangioma revealed by conventio nal radiographs performed for army enrolment. Given radiological evide nce of aggressiveness, percutaneous vertebroplasty by injection of met hyl methacrylate cement was performed to prevent complications. CT a y ear later showed no progression of the lesion. The patient remains asy mptomatic.
