| Abstrakt: | Background: Capillary hemangiomas are typically superficial benign tumors of the cutaneous and mucosal tissues of the face and neck in pediatric patients. In adults, they typically occur in middle-aged males who present with pain, myelopathy, radiculopathy, paresthesias, and bowel/bladder dysfunction. The optimal treatment for intramedullary spinal cord capillary hemangiomas is gross total/ en bloc resection. Methods: Here, we present a 63-year-old male with increasing right greater than left lower extremity numbness/ weakness, attributed to a T8-9 mixed intra- and extramedullary capillary hemangioma. Results: One year following complete lesion resection, the patient used an assistive device to ambulate and continued to improve neurologically. Conclusion: We presented a 63-year-old male whose paraparesis was attributed to a T8-9 mixed intra- and extramedullary capillary hemangioma who did well following total en bloc lesion resection. In addition to this case study/technical note, we provide a 2-D intraoperative video detailing the resection technique. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
