Epidural cavernous angiomas are apparently rare lesions. We present an unusual case of chronic lumbar radiculopathy secondary to an epidural cavernous hemangioma extending into the intervertebral foramen. Few such reports have had the benefit of modern neuroimaging techniques to aid in preoperative diagnosis, and, therefore, magnetic resonance imaging of these lesions has not been extensively described. This article discusses the implications of the clinical presentation of the patient and reviews the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging appearance of this lesion garnered from this case and from a review of the literature.
硬膜外海绵状血管瘤显然是罕见的病变。我们报告一例不寻常的病例，该病例为慢性腰椎神经根病，继发于延伸至椎间孔的硬膜外海绵状血管瘤。很少有此类报告受益于现代神经影像学技术来辅助术前诊断，因此，这些病变的磁共振成像尚未得到广泛描述。本文讨论了该患者临床表现的意义，并回顾了从该病例及文献复习中获得的该病变的特征性磁共振成像表现。
