of all vascular alterations of the spinal cord are caused by cavernous angiomas or cavernomas&#46; They are mainly located on vertebral bodies and they occasionally reach epidural regions&#46; They can be found in the intradural extramedullary space or they may be limited to an intramedullary location&#46;

They are well-circumscribed&#44; either hypointense or isointense in T1-weighted images and hyperintense in T2-weighted images&#44; and display contrast enhancement&#46; This has been observed in the largest patient series in the literature&#44;

we should highlight the following considerations&#46; Clinical presentation of back pain or apophyseal joint pain pinpointed by the patient is not exclusive to this type of lesion&#59; it can also be a sign of any epidural lesion stimulating nociceptors due to increased spinal pressure as a result of mass effect&#46; This is also the case for skull haemangiomas&#46; Surgical treatment of these lesions is indicated for two reasons&#58; true cord compression&#44; as in case 2&#44; or to complete a histological study to determine the diagnosis of the lesion&#44; as in case 1&#46;</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Differential diagnosis of this entity should consider other epidural tumours&#44; such as lymphomas&#44; metastatic tumours&#44; meningiomas&#44; or neurinomas-neurofibromas&#46; Another entity that should be considered is epidural angiolipoma&#44; a lipoma with a significant vascular component&#46; An MRI scan with fat suppression sequences should therefore be performed in order to rule out this tumour type&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;3&#44;9</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lastly and according to the findings from our study&#44; we highlight that cavernous angioma must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of epidural spinal lesions&#44; whether or not they display contrast uptake in the imaging studies&#46;</p></span>"
