Intradural convexity chondroma: a case report and review of diagnostic features.
Intradural convexity chondromas are slow-growing tumors of young adults and children. Their symptoms are due to their size and degree of mass effect. They are extra-axial, avascular masses without peritumoral edema. CT and magnetic resonance resonance imaging of the head and cerebral angiography are helpful in diagnosis. Treatment is surgical resection.
