Lumbar Intradural Extramedullary Capillary Hemangioma: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case report: A 59-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of low back pain and paresthesia in the lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a lobular tumor with an intense enhancement at the level of the L4 vertebral body. Tortuous tubular structures seen around the caudal pole of the tumor were considered to be a feeding vessel intermingled with nerve roots, which strongly suggested that the tumor was of a vascular origin. Operative findings demonstrated the dilated feeding vessel intermingled with the roots at the caudal pole of the mass. The mass was pathologically diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma.

Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. Hereby, authors report a w...
متن کاملReport of a Case: An Intradural between Roots Capillary Hemangioma of Cauda Equina
Background & Importance: Cavernous angiomas are typically superficial lesionscreated by anomalous vessels and found in the skin or mucosa, but intradural locations are rare especially in the spine. We report a case of the spinal intradural Cavernous angiomas of the lumbar spine. Case Presentation: A 53-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of low back pain and bilateral radicular pai...
متن کاملThoracic intradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma.
We report a case of a thoracic intradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma. The MR imaging appearance was nonspecific for this lesion, and it could not be distinguished from more common spinal intradural extramedullary lesions. The presence of subtly enlarged abnormal vessels on contrast MR images should, however, lead one to consider a vascular mass and order preoperative spinal arteriography.
متن کاملIntradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma of the cauda equina: Case report and literature review
BACKGROUND Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that rarely occur in the neuraxis. When encountered in the spine, prompt diagnosis and complete resection is crucial. On rare instances, these lesions can acutely hemorrhage, leading to sudden neurological decline. To date, there are only 16 reported cases of intradural capillary hemangiomas in the cauda equina. CASE DESCRIPTION We r...

that are believed to be hamartomatous proliferations of vascular endothelial cells. They are bright red to blue in color, sharply demarcated from the surrounding skin or mucosal tissue, and usually located on the head and neck in childhood (1). Spinal intradural extramedullary capillary hemangiomas are extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported (2-8). They appear isointense or hypoi...
متن کاملSpinal intradural capillary hemangioma: MR findings.
We report a case of a spinal intradural capillary hemangioma. On MR images, a well-circumscribed intradural mass was detected at the T8-T9 level. The signal intensity of the mass relative to the spinal cord was isointense on T1-weighted images, hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and showed homogeneous, strong enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. The mass had both extramedullary...
