Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Malformations
Background:
- Cavernous angiomas are uncommon central nervous system vascular malformations.
- Spinal cavernous angiomas represent a small fraction (3-16%) of these lesions.
- Intradural extramedullary cavernous angiomas, particularly those affecting the cauda equina, are exceptionally rare.
