Cavernomas are dilated capillary vessels without intervening neural tissue. 1 Most cavernomas are intracranial; of the 5% located in the spine, most are extradural or intramedullary. 1 Intraduralextramedullary cavernomas are quite rare. Here, we present a unique case of an intradural-extramedullary cavernoma exclusively associated with a thoracic dorsal nerve root and review the clinical presentation, imaging features, surgical management, and postoperative outcomes of these rare lesions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
