Spinal epidural cavernous angioma: case report.
Epidural cavernous angiomas are apparently rare lesions. We present a case of paraplegia with acute onset secondary to spinal epidural cavernous angioma at levels C7 and T1. Magnetic resonance imaging gave the clinician the opportunity to diagnose the lesion preoperatively. In this article, we present and discuss this rare case with a review of the literature.
