A case of cauda equina cavernous angioma coexisting with multiple cerebral cavernous angiomas.
The simultaneous presence of cavernous angiomas in both the brain and spinal cord is a very rare finding, as is the location of a cavernous angioma in the cauda equina. We reported a unique case of coexisting with multiple cerebral cavernous angiomas in the brain and cauda equina.
