Thoracic 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 کاملExtraosseous, 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.

متن کاملThoracic Epidural Teratoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature
PURPOSE Spinal teratomas comprise a rare subset of spinal cord tumors, and here, we describe an even rarer childhood thoracic extradural-intracanalicular teratoma. The clinical presentation, management, and pathophysiology of these tumors are reviewed to promote recognition and guide treatment of these lesions. METHODS We report the case of a 21-month-old boy who presented with marked spastic...
متن کاملSpinal Epidural Cavernous Hemangioma of the Thoracic Spine: A Case Report
Cavernous hemangiomas can arise in any region of the body, including the central nervous system. Spinal cavernous hemangiomas account for 5% 12% of all cases of vertebral vascular malformation. Most of these are of vertebral origin, and cases that are non-vertebral in origin are rare. We encountered a patient with a relatively rare spinal epidural cavernous hemangioma of the thoracic spine that...
