Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. Hereby, authors report a w...

Background & Importance: Cavernous angiomas are typically superficial lesionscreated by anomalous vessels and found in the skin or mucosa, but intradural locations are rare especially in the spine. We report a case of the spinal intradural Cavernous angiomas of the lumbar spine. Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of low back pain and bilateral radicular pai...

Intradural disc herniation is a very rare condition, and multiple intradural disc herniations have not been reported to date. The latter may be confused with intradural extramedullary (IDEM) spinal tumors. Here, we report a case of multiple intradural disc herniations masquerading as multiple IDEM tumors and review the relevant literature. We retrospectively reviewed the patient's medical chart...

Study Design Case report. Objective Describe a case of intradural disk herniation and a method for intraoperative localization. Methods Intradural disk herniations are uncommon but well described. The diagnosis of these lesions is often difficult, and sometimes they may be diagnosed only through an intradural exploration after an expected disk fragment cannot be located. We report the case of a...

Background and Importance: Intradural lumbar disc herniation is a rare and uncommon presentation of lumbar disc herniation. It signifies a challenge for diagnostic and therapeutic scheme, and is associated with a greater incidence of cauda equina syndrome at presentation. Case Presentation: We describe two cases of intradural disc herniation who underwent surgery in Senegal review literat...

Totally cystic intradural extramedullary lesions are uncommon and form a different spectrum of conditions as compared to the commonly seen intradural extramedullary tumors. Spinal schwannomas are benign tumors arising from spinal nerve root sheaths and are the most common intradural extramedullary spinal tumors. Though cystic changes in schwannomas are well described, most spinal schwannomas ar...

Epidermoid cysts have a benign etiology and can be either congenital, usually associated with malformations, or acquired, related to external events, even iatrogenic. As for their location, they are classified as extradural, intradural, extramedullary, intramedullary. Intradural intramedullary epidermoid quite uncommon, few cases reported in literature so far. Because of its slow growth, there ...

Intradural lumbar disk herniation is an uncommon occurrence in the natural course and clinical spectrum of lumbar disk disease. The reported cases suggest an incidence of 0.13%. This case report presents some of the commonly occurring clinical and radiographic findings in intradural lumbar disk herniation, including those of CT. It also demonstrates the importance of metrizamide-enhanced CT in ...

Intradural cement leakage after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is a rare clinical picture. We report a 64-year-old woman with osteoporotic compression fracture of the L2 vertebral body developing monoparesis and monoparesthesia after PV. The diagnosis of intradural cement collection with spinal cord damage was evidenced by clinical and neuroradiographic investigation. After decompressive surg...
