Abstract
|
|
|
|
We present a case of spinal accessory nerve cavernous hemangioma. A 44-year-old male patient visited our hospital because a mass at his foramen magnum had been found during a medical checkup. A magnetic resonance (MR) image revealed a well-enhanced mass in the foramen magnum, with displacement of the medulla oblongata to the left side by this mass. The lesion was resected using a far-lateral approach, and the pathological diagnosis was a cavernous hemangioma. Although cranial nerve cavernous hemangioma is a rare condition, it should be considered when making differential diagnoses of foramen magnum masses.
