Abstract:
A 55-year-old man presented with progressive numbness and weakness of both lower limbs is reported. MRI demonstrated a pure epidural lesion at T3-6 space appearing as isointense on T1-weighted images with enhancement by contrast medium and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. The lesion was totally removed microsurgically. Histological examination revealed cavernous hemangioma. The patient made a good recovery after surgery.
