title: Cavernous angioma of the spinal dura.
abstract: Three cases of cavernous angioma of the spinal dura are reported. Two of them were extradural and located in the thoracic segment. One was intradural and situated in the cervical tract. There seem to be no other cases reported in literature. Their clinical presentation was in no way different from that of the much more common neurinomas and meningiomas.
