ABSTRACT
Spinal cavernous haemangioma [CH] is a pathological entity that is commonly diagnosed in adults. It is usually located in the thoracic spine and involves the vertebral body. Epidural CH without bone involvement is a rare variant with only 75 cases reported in the literature, most of whom were adults. We report a unique case of a child with a pure lumbar epidural CH, who presented with a radiculopathy. The lesion was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and treated by total excision. All children with a radiculopathy should undergo an MRI and pure epidural CH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the pathology in these patients
