Abstract

|
Cavernous hemangioma in the spine is rare, and the occurrence of intradural extramedullary cavernous hemangioma is particularly infrequent. A 57-year-old male patient visited the emergency room with suddenly worsening neurological symptoms. Computed tomography at the T10-11 levels showed a round isodense mass lesion, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a 1.2-cm oval intradural extramedullary mass. Therefore, the diagnosis of an intradural extramedullary tumor was suspected. Active subdural hemorrhage was seen when the dura was opened after T10-11 laminectomy. The tumor had brown and reddish colorations. The diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma was made based on a pathological examination, which showed a dilated and congested vascular space lined by endothelial cells. Hemorrhagic transformation of a cavernous hemangioma can worsen a patient’s condition. Therefore, before surgery, we should consider the possibility of other tumors, such as cavernous hemangiomas, as well as common intradural extramedullary tumors.
