Intramedullary Capillary Hemangioma of the Thoracic Spine: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular neoplasms. When associated with the spine, these growths frequently involve the vertebral body, but rarely have they been reported to occur as intradural lesions, while even more rarely occurring in a true intramedullary location. We report a rare case of an intramedullary capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spinal cord and a review of the literature.
