#HEMANGIOMA SPINE SKIN#

We provide a review of the literature of spinal capillary hemangiomas and support the practice of evaluating infants with cutaneous lumbosacral hemangiomas for underlying spinal cord abnormalities. Several case reports describe spinal capillary hemangiomas in adults, but only one found in the literature describes a case in an infant. Pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of capillary hemangioma. We performed a lumbar laminectomy and laminoplasty to remove the mass and to release the tethered cord. Hemangioma A hemangioma (he-man-jee-O-muh) is a bright red birthmark that shows up at birth or in the first or second week of life. The spinal cord also appeared to be tethered with a fatty filum terminale.

An MRI of the lumbar spine revealed an isointense mass in the dorsal epidural at L(4) with an adjacent mass effect and extension into the overlying soft tissues. These tumors are present in about 10 of people and typically do not. Both infants were born with a lumbar dimple and were found to have a large cutaneous hemangioma without neurologic symptoms. Spinal Hemangioma is an often-benign spinal tumor that develops from the blood vessels.

Vertebral body hemangiomas are the most common tumor of the spinal axis and occur in.

#HEMANGIOMA SPINE SKIN#

We report the case of 2 infants born with a lumbar dermal sinus tract and an overlying angiomatous skin lesion referred to our pediatric neurosurgery service for evaluation of a tethered cord. Hemangiomas of the vertebral bodies are common benign vascular tumors.
