Yes: I agree an expanding hemangioma should be evaluated by a neurosurgeon. Sometimes they can be treated without surgery, but the neurosurgeon should make that call based on the size of the hemangioma and strength of the bone, and whether it is causing pressure on the spine.

Patience: Hemangiomas are discovered often on mris and are usually incidental (not the cause of the problem, just found coicidentally). If you have changing or worsening symptoms, then repeat MRI is indicated along with follow up with an orthopaedic spine surgeon or neurosurgeon. It looks like you are already on track for that. Remain calm and wait until you can discuss this with the neurosurgeon.

Hemangiomas: Spinal hemangiomas are benign common incidental findings they require no treatment or follow up monitoring. If small, i don't even mention them in report.
