“Small intraosseous Hemangiomas” are a normal finding in some patients, These are areas in the bone where there is more vascular tissue than normal. Years ago, we did not know these existed and the new MRI images made us aware of their presence. Many in the early years were biopsied until we became aware of their common presentation.
“Thoracolumbar Levocurvature without scoliosis” is a small curve in the area between the thorax (chest) and the upper lower back. Since a scoliosis is defined as a curve greater than 10 degrees, your curve is small. Generally. these don’t mean much.
Don’t waste time worrying about either of these two findings.
