Popis: | A case of benign hemangioendothelioma which occurred in the thoracic spinal intradural-extramedullary region, and which caused a myelopathy is reported. Benign hemangioendothelioma rarely involves the spinal cord. MRI was very useful in making the diagnosis of the spinal cord tumor. We recommend early diagnosis and surgery in such cases due to the possibility of spinal cord obstruction developing due to compression and ischemia of the spinal cord. A good post-operative result was achieved. |
