Abstract

Cavernous angiomas are benign vascular malformations that are occasionally found in the central nervous system. They comprise about 3% of all subdural spinal cord tumors, with only 24 cases of cavernomas of the cauda equina described in the literature.

This paper reports the case of a 55-year-old man who presented with back pain radiating to both legs. The patient followed several sessions of physiotherapy with only short pain relief. A lumbar magnetic resonance imaging showed a lesion with diameter of 12 mm located at the L1/L2 level under the conus medullaris. The patient underwent L2 and partially L1 laminectomy with complete resection of the lesion. The pathohistological examination was consistent with a cavernous angioma of the cauda equina. Full recovery of the patient was obtained without any neurological deficit.

马尾海绵状血管瘤：病例报告

海绵状血管瘤是一种良性血管畸形，偶尔会出现在中枢神经系统中。在所有硬膜下脊髓肿瘤中，海绵状血管瘤约占 3%，文献中描述的马尾海绵状血管瘤仅有 24 例。本文报告了一例 55 岁男性患者的病例，该患者因背部疼痛向双腿放射而就诊。患者接受了多次物理治疗，但疼痛仅得到短暂缓解。腰椎磁共振成像显示，位于 L1/L2 水平髓核下的病变直径为 12 毫米。患者接受了 L2 和部分 L1 椎板切除术，完全切除了病灶。病理组织学检查结果与马尾海绵状血管瘤一致。患者完全康复，没有出现任何神经功能障碍。
