Epidural Haemangioma Associated with Extensive Gastrointestinal Haemangiomas.
A Case Report
L.T.E. Cheng, W.E.H. Lim
Summary
A case of spinal epidural cavernous haemangioma associated with gastrointestinal
haemangiomas is discussed. The patient was a young Chinese female presenting
with chronic lower back pain. She had a history of extensive gastric and small
bowel haemangiomas. Lumbar spine MRI showed a heterogeneously enhancing epidural
mass infiltrating the paravertebral muscles. Open biopsy confirmed an epidural
cavernous haemangioma. To our knowledge, an association between spinal epidural
cavernous haemangiomas and gastrointestinal haemangiomas has not been reported.
