THORACIC INTRADURAL INTRAMEDULLARY CAVERNOMA
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
Spinal cavernomas are rare pathologies that account 5% to 12% of spinal vascular abnormalities. Sensory or motor symptoms are most frequent followed by pain and bladder dysfunction. Since development of ultra-high resolution magnetic resonance imaging techniques and modern sequences like susceptibility-weighted imaging, spinal cavernous malformaions can be diagnosed more accurately. Surgical removal of a symptomatic cavernoma is suggested to prevent further neurological deterioration, but must be weighed against the potential risks of surgery. We represent a rare illustrative case of thoracal spinal intradural cavernoma associated with multiple intracranial cavernomas.
