hi everyone, I have done a bit of research on this topic having been recently diagnosed with hemangioma at T8. Apparently the most successful and least invasive treatment is radiotherapy. With good result6s. Hope this helps.
Hi - First of all, please forgive my not answering your post above- I almost never check the email I used to register the medhelp account with (don't have a clue why i used that one in the first place! :p!). It's really a "pain", isn't it, when we know something is wrong and the docs can't figure it out..bleh! Having kids keeps me busy through it all though :). Turns out - just in the last few weeks - the latest dr. thinks maybe my leg/arm weakness has to do w/my migraine headaches and not my L4, so I'm on another medicine to see if we can take care of it all with that...we'll see. I hope you're doing better -- sorry again for not answering your post!

Hi there!
I was diagnosed with an L4 Hemangioma a year ago and have had the same issue. I have some numbness in my toes as well as tingling in my fingers. The doctors did all sorts of tests but cant operate. I have 4 small Hemangiomas on my spinal cord and it is dangerous to operate supposedly. Sad part is I am in pain ALL the time and can not get disability for it. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with 2 smallish fibroids on my left ovary so just when ya think it ***** bad there ya go. Anyway I hope things pan out for you. I truly do feel your pain.

Thank you for your response!
Hi,
It's unlikely that the hemangioma, which is not compressing the spinal cord can lead to leg weakness. But, there is good amount of possibility that hemangioma is pressing some nerve roots, which at times a MRI cannot detect.
