Intradural, Purely Extramedullary Hemangioblastoma of the Spinal Cord —Case Report—

抄録

An unusual, purely extramedullary hemangioblastoma of the spinal cord occurred in a 59-year-old female. Myelography revealed a filling defect at the Th6 level, and computed tomographic myelography demonstrated an extramedullary intradural isodense mass at the same level. The mass was homogeneously enhanced on postcontrast computed tomographic scans. T₁-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed an isointense mass, homogeneously enhanced by contrast medium. The tumor was removed en bloc.
