“…In long-term follow-up, Svoboda et al reported 42% improved (11 patients), 46% remained stable (12 patients), and 12% (3 patients) deteriorated compared to their presurgical neurological status. 50 It is general agreement that patients with motor deficits have the highest possibility of postsurgical improvement reaching up to 86%. 50 Interestingly, several studies pointed out that sensory deficit, pain (radicular or central), and bladder dysfunction often do not favor a full recovery following the surgery.…”

Background: Spinal cord intramedullary cavernous malformation (SICM) is kind of rare vascular disease, and the therapeutic strategy is still under debate. Cavernous malformation (CM) can be found throughout the central nervous system (CNS) but only rarely occur within the spinal cord. The purpose of this article is to describe natural history, clinical presentation and outcome of SICM case which treated surgicallyCase Presentation: A 70-year-old healthy woman presented with lower extremity weakness. A posterior laminectomy was performed, and a diagnosis of intramedullary spinal cord cavernous malformation was established. Neurological improvement was seen in one month after surgeryConclusion: Intramedullary CM is a rare disease but one with significant consequences if not managed appropriately. whenever safely feasible, gross total resection is suggested, to prevent rebleeding and further worsened of neurological deficit.

Background Cavernous malformations of the spinal cord are a rare type of vascular malformation, comprising approximately 5 to 16% of all vascular lesions in the spinal cord. Depending on their origin position, these malformations can be distributed in different locations within the spinal canal. Although intramedullary cavernous malformations have been reported in the literature, they are exceedingly rare. Furthermore, highly calcified or ossified intramedullary cavernous spinal malformations are even rarer. Case presentation Here, we present a case report of a 28-year-old woman diagnosed with a thoracic intramedullary cavernous malformation. The patient had been experiencing progressive numbness in her distal limbs for a period of 2 months. During routine lung computed tomography screening for COVID-19, a hyperdense mass was noted in the patient’s spinal canal. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mulberry-shaped intramedullary mass at the T1-2 level. The patient underwent surgical treatment, during which the entire lesion was successfully removed, resulting in a gradual improvement of her symptoms. Histological examination confirmed the presence of cavernous malformations with calcification. Conclusions Intramedullary cavernous malformations with calcification are rare and special type that should be treated surgically in the early stage without significant neurological impairment before rebleeding or enlargement of the lesion can occur.
