Abstract:
Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of pure spinal epidural cavernous hemangiomas.Methods We presented a case series of 6 patients with pure spinal epidural cavernous hemangiomas in our hospital from April 2012 to November 2016 with previous articles discussing their clinical presentation,radiological characteristics,surgical technique,pathological features,and functional outcome.Results All patients were diagnosed as pure spinal epidural cavernous hemangiomas by pathology.The cavernous hemangiomas were totally cut and patients recovered well after operations.All patients gradually improved neurologically and achieved a good outcome with no recurrence during the follow-up for 13 to 68 months.Conclusion Pure spinal epidural cavernous hemangioma is rare.It is easily confused with other spinal diseases.MRI is an important imaging examination method.Pathology is the method of diagnosis.Surgical resection is the main method of treatment,and the prognosis is good.
