ABSTRACT
The increased use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increased the frequency of diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma, but its presentation of an epidural lesion with foraminal extension without intramedullary involvement is very rare. We describe a 31-year-old woman admitted to our department with pain in the left side of her neck and shoulder. Gadolinium enhanced cervical MRI revealed a brightly enhanced, extradural mass (112 cm sized) with widened neural foramen; after surgical excision, it was histologically confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma. Postoperatively, the patient has no neurological deficit or specific complication. Although this lesion mimicked an epidural- neurogenic tumor, its enhancement pattern indicated a cavernous hemangioma. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is necessary for treatment planning. Cavernous hemangioma must be included in the differential diagnosis of a brightly enhanced, extradural tumors.
