  • Intracranial Capillary Hemangioma: extra-axial tumorous lesions closely mimicking meningioma
    Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Ji Hoon Phi, Seung-ki Kim, Anna Cho, Dong Gyu Kim, Sun Ha Paek, Sung-hye Park, Kyu-chang Wang
    Abstract:

    Capillary Hemangiomas are common tumorous lesions of the skin and soft tissue in infants. These lesions often involve internal organs and rarely develop in the intracranial space. Because of their rarity, clinical descriptions of intracranial Capillary Hemangioma have been anecdotal and have not provided a coherent understanding of these lesions. We report four cases of intracranial Capillary Hemangioma. Review of these 4 cases and 14 cases reported in the literature was undertaken to assess the influence of age, sex, location, clinical manifestation, treatment, and outcome. A significant difference was observed in age at diagnosis between sexes. The median age for male patients was 4.8 years (range 6 weeks to 20 years), and the median age for female patients was 22.5 years (range 4 months to 44 years). Approximately two-thirds of intracranial Capillary Hemangioma lesions develop in the vicinity of major venous sinuses, such as the cavernous/sphenoparietal sinus and the transverse sinus/torcular/superior sagittal sinus. This propensity for specific locations appears to be responsible for the symptom manifestation. The majority of the lesions also seem to be extra-axial in imaging and operative findings. Complete surgical resection provided excellent outcome, but incomplete resection led to recurrence. Capillary Hemangioma should be considered in the diagnosis of extra-axial, contrast-enhancing lesions, especially in children and adolescents.

  • spinal intradural Capillary Hemangioma mr findings
    American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Ji Hoon Shin, Ho Kyu Lee, Sang Ryong Jeon, Sung-hye Park
    Abstract:

    We report a case of a spinal intradural Capillary Hemangioma. On MR images, a well-circumscribed intradural mass was detected at the T8-T9 level. The signal intensity of the mass relative to the spinal cord was isointense on T1-weighted images, hyperintense on T2-weighted images, and showed homogeneous, strong enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. The mass had both extramedullary and intramedullary components.

  • spinal intradural extramedullary Capillary Hemangioma mr imaging findings
    American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Bo Yoon Choi, K H Chang, Gheeyoung Choe, Moon Hee Han, Sunwon Park, Yang Hee Park, Hyun Jip Kim
    Abstract:

    Summary: Spinal intradural extramedullary Capillary Hemangiomas are extremely rare. We present the MR imaging and histologic findings in three patients with this abnormality. The three patients were men who had symptoms of either myelopathy (n = 2) or radiculopathy (n = 1). The tumors were well demarcated, 1.5–2.0 cm in diameter, and were located at the posterior or posterolateral portion of the thecal sac (one at the L1 level and the other two at the midthoracic level). On MR images, the tumor showed isointensity relative to the spinal cord on T1-weighted images, hyperintensity on T2-weighted images, and strong homogeneous enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images in all three patients. In two patients, the dural tail sign was observed. Capillary Hemangioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a spinal intradural extramedullary tumor.

  • intradural extramedullary Capillary Hemangioma of the cauda equina case report and literature review
    Surgical Neurology International, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jonathan J Liu, Darrin J Lee, Leeway Jin, Kee D Kim
    Abstract:

    Background Capillary Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that rarely occur in the neuraxis. When encountered in the spine, prompt diagnosis and complete resection is crucial. On rare instances, these lesions can acutely hemorrhage, leading to sudden neurological decline. To date, there are only 16 reported cases of intradural Capillary Hemangiomas in the cauda equina. Case description We report a case of an intradural extramedullary cauda equina Capillary Hemangioma that resulted in back pain and lower extremity motor deficit. Initial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated a bilobular intradural L3-4 cauda equina lesion. The lesion was isointense on T1-weighted imaging, mildly hyperintense on T2-weighted images and avidly enhancing after gadolinium administration. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of Capillary Hemangioma. Conclusion Early diagnosis and treatment of this patient resulted in complete resection of the tumor and return of lower extremity motor function. Capillary Hemangiomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cauda equina lesions. En bloc resection of these lesions is the mainstay of treatment.
