A small, benign enhancing lesion posterior to the intracranial vertebral artery at the foramen magnum is a recently described image-based entity and believed to represent varix or ganglion. We report on an individual who underwent surgery due to a hybrid neurofibroma/schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve and additionally presented a small gadolinium-enhancing lesion in the right spinal canal at the level of the craniocervical junction (CCJ). The intraoperative finding of this enhancing lesion most likely represents the lateral internal vertebral venous plexus which does not require follow up or surgical excision.
枕骨大孔处颅内椎动脉后方的一个小的、良性强化病变是最近基于影像学描述的一种实体，被认为代表静脉曲张或神经节。我们报告了一名因三叉神经混合性神经纤维瘤/神经鞘瘤接受手术的患者，其在颅颈交界（CCJ）水平的右侧椎管内还存在一个小的钆强化病变。术中发现这个强化病变很可能代表外侧椎内静脉丛，无需随访或手术切除。
