Abstract

Cavernous hemangiomas are uncommon vascular malformations. In the spine, lesions of the vertebral bodies are most common. However, intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions of the spine are uncommon, and purely epidural lesions are very rare. We report upon a case of pure epidural cavernous hemangioma in the thoracic region.

Keywords: Thoracic Spine, Epidural Cavernous Hemangioma
