Spinal epidural venous angioma presenting symtomps of lumbar disc herniation: a case report
2018
: Spinal epidural venous angiomas are extremely rare. We report the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with disc herniation symptoms, complaining of pain in his left leg and numbness, especially at the base of the knee. On physical examination, the LasA¨gue test was positive at 45 degrees on the left side and no neurological deficit was detected on the lower extremity. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion in the left S1 neural foramen, which was initially evaluated as a schwannoma. However, after the lesion was totally excised, it was pathologically identified as a venous angioma. Here, the clinical presentation, management, and surgical, radiological, and pathological features are discussed.
