  • Title: [Spinal epidural cavernous angioma. Apropos of 2 cases. Review of the literature].
    Author: Yettou H, Vinikoff L, Baylac F, Marchal JC.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1996; 42(6):300-4; discussion 304-5. PubMed ID: 9161537.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 cases of spinal epidural cavernous angiomas revealed by paraplegia, and present the main cases reported in the literature since 1895. The diagnosis of this uncommon affection seems to be difficult to establish only upon clinical and radiological features. In spite of recent advances in neuroradiological imaging, these kinds of angiomas still remain an operative and histopathological discovery. A laminectomy was performed revealing a vascular lesion which was totally extirpated. Functional recovery was achieved in both cases.
