“…Within the spine, this tumor is commonly found in the vertebral bodies[ 1 ] but only a few cases of intradural capillary hemangioma have been reported [ Table 1 ].

Thus, based on case series of 64 patients, authors propose a classification scheme for the spinal capillary hemangioma classification into five types [ Figure 5 ].…”

Spinal capillary hemangiomas: Two cases reports and review of the literature

Hemangiomas have rarely been found in the spinal cord. A few cases of spinal capillary hemangioma have been reported since 1987. The authors reported the two cases of capillary hemangioma including the tumor at conus medullaris and the another mimicked von Hippel-Lindau disease. A 15-year-old man was presented with coccydynia and left leg pain. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intradural extramedullary enhancing mass at conus medullaris. Another case, a 31-year-old man was presented with a history of familial history of brain tumor, retinal hemangioma both eyes, multiple pancreatic cyst and syringobulbia with syringohydromyelia. On MRI, a well-circumscribed intramedullary nodule was detected at C5-6 level and multiple subpial nodule along cervicothoracic spinal cord. All patients underwent surgery, and the histological diagnosis confirmed capillary hemangioma. Although rare and indistinguishable from other tumors, capillary hemangioma should be in the differential diagnosis of the spinal cord tumor.

“…There are only scattered reports of true infantile hemangiomas involving the central nervous system (CNS). [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Approximately 60% of infantile hemangiomas occur in the craniofacial region. 13 The lesions are described as superficial, deep, or of combined depth.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The neuroradiology and neurosurgery literature is replete with references to "hemangioma" involving the central nervous system (CNS). However, the number of cases of true infantile hemangiomas in the CNS reported to date is 15. Our purpose was to delineate the definition of infantile hemangiomas, determine their prevalence in the neuraxis, and describe their imaging characteristics and associations in this location.

“…Fewer than 20 such cases have been reported. 8,31 Intradural hemangiomas in children are even less common, and there are no published reports reviewing the natural history of this lesion. Infantile hemangiomas of the CNS have been associated with both PHACE syndrome (Posterior fossa abnormalities and other structural brain abnormalities; Hemangioma(s) of the cervical facial region; Arterial cerebrovascular anomalies; Cardiac defects, aortic coarctation, and other aortic abnormalities; and Eye anomalies) 25,31 and tethered cord.…”

“…11 Capillary hemangiomas were once considered a subtype of infantile hemangiomas but are now considered a separate diagnostic entity, often renamed congenital nonprogressive hemangiomas. 8,20,21 These tumors typically display capillary lobules separated by fibrous tissue instead of the normal tissue that is seen in infantile hemangioma. In addition, these are not GLUT1-positive.…”

“…18 Although cutaneous hemangiomas are the most common tumor of infancy, affecting 3%-10% of all children, 20 intradural hemangiomas are much less common. There are multiple reports of spinal extradural 5,10,12 and intradural 8,9,14,15,17,22,23,26 hemangiomas in adults. We report the case of a newborn with a cutaneous hemangioma, as well as hemangiomas in the extradural space and a intradural space involving the DRG.…”

Spontaneous resolution of an infantile hemangioma in a dorsal root ganglion

Infantile hemangiomas are tumors commonly seen in children. Few authors have reported infantile hemangiomas affecting the CNS, and there are no prior reports detailing spontaneous resolution of a histologically proven juvenile hemangioma within a dorsal root ganglion. The authors report the case of a newborn boy with a large cutaneous hemangioma in the midline of his back. Spinal MR images were obtained to rule out associated spinal cord tethering, and an intradural spinal lesion was unexpectedly discovered. Biopsy revealed an intradural infantile hemangioma within the dorsal root ganglion, and, based on this diagnosis, no resection was performed. Sixteen months following the biopsy, the cutaneous hemangioma had become involuted and the intradural hemangioma had completely resolved. The behavior of the intradural component in this case follows the natural history of many cutaneous infantile hemangiomas.
