EXTRADURAL LUMBAR NERVE ROOT CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA – CASE REPORT AND SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL RESECTION

Resumo

Extradural lumbar spinal canal cavernous hemangiomas (or cavernomas) are rare lesions that can induce intense back pain and neurological deficit. We present a case report of a patient with a pure radicular lombar extradural cavernoma resembling a benign neurological tumor in imaging exams and a successful surgical resection.
