Multiple spinal cord cavernous angiomas are rare, especially without cranial involvement. This case highlights a rare instance of thoracic and cervical intramedullary lesions presenting with acute paraplegia, despite normal brain imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Neurology

Background:

  • Spinal cavernous angiomas (SCAs) are vascular malformations that can occur in the spinal cord.
  • SCAs often present concurrently with cranial cavernous angiomas.
  • Multiple intramedullary SCAs are exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

  • This report details a patient experiencing acute paraplegia.
  • The patient presented with both thoracic and cervical intramedullary cavernous angiomas.
  • Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed no concurrent cranial cavernous angiomas.

Findings:

  • The study describes a rare case of multiple, non-cranial intramedullary spinal cavernous angiomas.
  • The coexistence of thoracic and cervical intramedullary lesions without cranial involvement is emphasized.

  • Acute paraplegia was the presenting symptom in this unique clinical scenario.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of the spectrum of spinal cavernous angioma presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of considering spinal etiologies in patients with acute neurological deficits, even with normal cranial imaging.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific pathogenesis and management strategies for multiple, isolated spinal cavernous angiomas.
