title: Multiple spinal intramedullary cavernous angioma: case report.
abstract: Spinal cavernous angiomas frequently accompany to cranial cavernous angiomas. Multiple spinal cord cavernous angiomas are very rare and to authors knowledge, only one case has been described having multiple intramedullary cavernous angiomas without cranial involvement until now. In this report, we present a case with acute paraplegia who had thoracic and cervical intramedullary cavernous angiomas and normal cranial magnetic resonance imaging.
