Coexisting subdural and intercostal haemangiomata

Haemangioma in the chest wall is a very rare entity, seldom described in the literature. We report the case of a 23 year old woman presenting with independent, cervical subdural and intercostal haemangiomata. She suffered several episodes of recurrent, self-limiting subdural haemorrhage before diagnosis was made by magnetic nuclear resonance, aortography and selective intercostal angiography. Surgical excision was performed in both locations with excellent results.
