Introduction And Importance: Scheuermann's kyphosis is a structural deformity of the thoracolumbar spine that is classified in typical (thoracic) and atypical (lumbar and thoracolumbar) Scheuermann's disease. Surgical intervention is reserved for those with progressive kyphosis, intractable pain and neurological impairment. Although, previous literature focuses on the correction of the thoracic kyphosis (TK), recent lines of evidence recommend considering all the sagittal balance parameters when performing a surgery.

- In patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SAA), it's important to avoid rapid drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during surgery.
- Using cotton pads and adjusting the patient's head position can help manage CSF pressure safely.
- This precaution helps prevent serious complications that could arise from improper CSF handling.
Background: Different treatments are available for aggressive vertebral hemangioma [AVH], but a consensus is yet to be reached about the best therapeutic approach.
Purpose: To explore the possibility that selecting a less aggressive therapeutic approach for AVH decreases the intraoperative and postoperative complications while providing similar clinical, radiographic, and disease-free survival results to more aggressive therapeutic methods.
Study: We report the case of an AVH of the thoracic spine at the T5 level, treated via perioperative selective arterial embolization plus surgical decompression via laminectomy and reconstruction with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) vertebroplasty.
