title: An unusual dumbbell form of cavernous hemangioma of the cervical spine.
abstract: Cavernous hemangiomas are vascular malformations of the central nervous system that may rarely affect the epidural space of the spine. We report a case of an epidural cavernous hemangioma which was originating from the left C8 nerve root and extending anteriorly to the apex of the left lung.
