Aggressive vertebral hemangioma (AVH) is a type of non-neoplastic and congenital developmental abnormality of spinal cord blood vessels. We report the innovative application of three-dimensional (3D) printing-assisted anterior and posterior combined surgery for treating a giant AVH. This could be a novel treatment in the future. A 44-year-old man suffered from persistent neck pain and limited limb mobility for approximately 2 weeks. An imaging examination showed the destruction of C2–4 vertebral bodies, and a giant lesion invaded the spinal cord. He underwent 3D printing-assisted anterior and posterior combined surgery. Postoperatively, his symptoms of persistent neck pain and limited limb mobility were alleviated. An imaging examination showed that internal fixation and the prosthesis were fixed in place, and the spinal canal was unobstructed. Treating a giant AVH by 3D printing-assisted anterior and posterior combined surgery is feasible and effective.
