Extraosseous, Epidural Cavernous Hemangioma with Back Pain
BACKGROUND Cavernous malformations are characterized by enlarged vascular structures located in benign neural tissues within the cerebellum and spinal cord of the central nervous system. Cavernous hemangiomas (CHs) account for 5% to 12% of all spinal vascular malformations. CASE REPORT We removed a hemorrhagic thoracic mass in a 40-year-old male patient who presented with progressive neurolog...
متن کاملThoracic Extraosseous Epidural Cavernous Hemangioma
Cavernous hemangiomas were first reported in 1929 by Globus and Doshay, and are defined as benign vascular structures developed between the neural tissues occurring in the central nervous system, consisting of a dilated vascular bed. Cavernous hemangiomas comprise nearly 5-12% of all spinal vascular malformations; however, existence in the epidural space without bone involvement is rare. Only 4...
متن کاملSpinal epidural cavernous hemangioma: case report.
Pure epidural cavernous hemangiomas are quite rare. In this paper, a case of lumbar epidural cavernous hemangioma presenting as a lumbar radiculopathy is presented. The magnetic resonance imaging findings, differential diagnosis and therapy options of this rare case are discussed.
متن کاملAn epidural cavernous hemangioma of the spine.
Cavernous hemangiomas are uncommon vascular malformations of the CNS that may affect any part of the neuroaxis. Most of these lesions are intracranial; supratentorial sites are most common [1]. In the spine, lesions of the vertebral bodies are most common, intramedullary [2] and intradural extramedullary [3] lesions of the spinal axis are uncommon, and purely epidural lesions are rare [4, 5]. W...
متن کاملSpinal epidural cavernous hemangioma with myelopathy: a rare lesion.
A case of pure epidural cavernous angioma involving the dorsal region of the spine is presented. The clinical picture was of a slowly progressive compressive myelopathy. Imaging studies only showed a dorsally located epidural mass lesion. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of this rare type of lesion. The patient improved after excision of the lesion.
