    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Intradural-extramedullary tumors are rare spinal lesions.
    • Organized hematoma is an exceptionally uncommon cause of such tumors, with limited reported cases.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with an intradural-extramedullary lesion later identified as an organized hematoma.
    • The case was unusual due to the absence of typical associated factors like clotting abnormalities or arteriovenous malformations.

    Findings:

    • Initial computed tomography (CT) scan was negative due to suboptimal scan initiation level.
    • Metrizamide myelography followed by enhanced CT provided definitive diagnostic visualization.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic limitations of standard CT scans for certain spinal tumors.
    • Underscores the necessity of comprehensive physical examination and advanced imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic planning.
