Summary
Intramedullary cavernomas, rare spinal tumors, can cause neurological decline. Surgical removal of this cervical spinal cord lesion led to significant symptom improvement in a 45-year-old male.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Intramedullary cavernomas are uncommon spinal cord tumors, accounting for 5-12% of all intramedullary neoplasms.
- Improved detection rates are attributed to advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.
- These lesions can be solitary or multiple, potentially associated with cranial lesions, and present with varied neurological deficits based on location.
