Abstract:
The intradural cavernous hemangioma of the spinal cord is a rare vascular malformation. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the cauda equina in a 46-year-old female who presented with intermittent low-back pain and radiating pain to both lower extremities. A intradural mass was detected by spinal MRI. She underwent complete removal of the mass through L1 total laminectomy. Her symptoms were improved. The clinical, radiological, histopathological feature of this lesion are discussed toghther a review of the literature.
