Abstract

Background: Spinal cavernomas (SCs) account for about 5% of all spinal vascular malformations. Intradural SCs occur in just 3% of cases and are typically intramedullary. Case Description: A 58-year-old female presented with progressive left occipital neuralgia, left cervicobrachial neuralgia, and paresthesia of all four extremities. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intradural extramedullary C2–C4 lesion causing significant spinal cord compression. Gross total tumor excision was accomplished through a midline laminectomy pathologically; the lesion proved to be a cavernoma. The postoperative follow-up MRI obtained 4 months postoperatively showed complete tumor resection. Conclusion: A 58-year-old female successfully underwent gross total excision of a C2–C4 intradural extramedullary SC.
