Study design: A case report of purely epidural cavernous haemangioma with MRI appearance and pathological features.
Objective: To present a rare case of extradural mass with differential diagnosis.
Setting: Delhi, India.
Method: A 55-year-old man presented with progressive weakness and diminished sensation in both lower limbs. MRI demonstrated a pure extradural mass with no bony invasion. Histopathology of the lesion revealed a typical cavernous haemangioma.
Result: The patient showed significant improvement after surgery.
Conclusion: Radiological presentation could be confusing in a purely epidural cavernous haemangioma. Awareness of the characteristics of the lesion will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of the lesion.
