Abstract
A case report of purely epidural cavernous haemangioma with MRI appearance and pathological features. To present a rare case of extradural mass with differential diagnosis. Delhi, India. A 55-year-old man presented with progressive weakness and diminished sensation in both lower limbs. MRI demonstrated a pure extradural mass with no bony invasion. Histopathology of the lesion revealed a typical cavernous haemangioma. The patient showed significant improvement after surgery. Radiological presentation could be confusing in a purely epidural cavernous haemangioma. Awareness of the characteristics of the lesion will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of the lesion.
