A 52-year-old female presented with an unusual large cystic cavernous angioma with dense calcification in the thalamus manifesting only as headache despite the large mass with surrounding brain edema. Both T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images revealed a large cystic mass with an intramural nodule appearing a reticulated, irregular mixed intensity core. The lesion was totally removed th...

We present an interesting case of conus medullaris cavernoma that was initially treated as transverse myelitis. Haemorrhagic lumbar puncture led us to perform magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which showed the presence of a cavernous angioma at the D12-L1 level. The total excision of the lesion was followed by dramatic improvement. We suggest that MR imaging be performed early in all suspected c...

Vascular lesions of the solid abdominal viscera may pose diagnostic and management issues. A 16-year old girl admitted to emergency department due to recurrent abdominal pain and diagnosed to have multiple vascular malformations of the spleen on imaging investigations. Littoral cell angioma was preoperative suspicion owing to no response of the vascular lesion to the propranolol. It turned out ...

Cavernous hemangiomas are uncommon vascular malformations of the CNS that may affect any part of the neuroaxis. Most of these lesions are intracranial; supratentorial sites are most common [1]. In the spine, lesions of the vertebral bodies are most common, intramedullary [2] and intradural extramedullary [3] lesions of the spinal axis are uncommon, and purely epidural lesions are rare [4, 5]. W...

Spine vascular lesions like brain include spinal cord stroke, malformation such as venous or angioma, cavernous malformation, arteriovenous fistula. Embryogenesis of is the basic principle to understand spine. This study aims report serial cases with review lesions. MR angiography techniques contrast injection may reflect direction flow epidural veins describe site arterial feeders. Serpiginous...
