What Does Hemangioma In L4 L5 Vertebral Mean?

I have under gone 6 Lumbar Sympathetic Nerve Block for treatment of RSD/CRPS after having a Calcaneal Osteotomy. I am having burning pain in both thighs. An MRI has just now revealed "There is no disc herniation spinal stenosis or or foraminal stenosis evident. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level. No lateral disc herniation.
Incidental note is made of hemangioma in the L4 L5 vertebral. What does this mean and can it be caused by the Sympathetic Nerve Block?

Hi,
There is no disc herniation spinal stenosis or or foraminal stenosis evident. The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level. No lateral disc herniation. this all are normal findings.

you have hemangioma in the L4-5 is not due to sympathetc nerve block.

hemangioma is the benign tumor of vascular origin. it has very good prognosis, treatment is simple excision of tumour. so if you have any symptoms due to hemangioma then go for surgery. its not due to sympathetic nerve block.
