    Author: Singh RV, Suys S, Yeh JS, Campbell DA, Broome JC.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 1993 Mar; 95(1):55-8. PubMed ID: 8453817.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of cervical intramedullary cavernous angioma in a 30-year-old man with Down's syndrome is presented. A review of the literature showed this to be the first reported case. Magnetic resonance imaging was diagnostic. A myelotomy was done and multiple biopsies were taken. The patient deteriorated neurologically and later died due to severe chest infection. The presentation, management and prognosis of this condition are discussed.
