Paralysis due to a glomangioma in a Macaca mulatta.
A glomangioma at the 6-7 thoracic intervertebral space caused compression of the spinal cord with posterior paralysis in an irradiated 20-year-old female rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). Glomangiomas are tumors of arterial-venous shunts, are rare and have only been reported in irradiated rhesus monkeys.
