Background:

Spinal canal cavernous malformations are uncommon vascular anomalies.
Intradural extramedullary cavernomas are particularly rare, with few reported cases.
This study focuses on a unique case of cervical intradural extramedullary cavernoma.

Observation:

A 65-year-old woman presented with neck and right arm radicular pain and paresthesias.
The patient had a cervical intradural extramedullary cavernoma associated with a ventral cervical rootlet.
A PubMed search was conducted to compare this case with existing literature.

Findings:

The cervical cavernoma was surgically removed.
Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of cavernoma.
The patient experienced excellent recovery with no neurological deficits post-surgery.

Implications:

Gross total resection is the recommended treatment for symptomatic spinal cavernous malformations.
Surgical outcomes for these lesions are generally favorable, with functional restoration.
Prompt surgical intervention for spinal cavernous malformations can lead to positive patient outcomes.
