Abstract:
Two cases of cavernous hemangioma of the cauda equina are presented. Cavernous hemangioma of the cauda equina is rare vascular malformation. This is the fifth and sixth case of cavernous hemangioma of the cauda equina in the literature. These cases are female patients. MRI is more sensitive method than spinal myelography and CT in diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of the cauda equina. Total removal was possible without immediate post-operative complication.
