Spinal cavernous angioma complicated by hemorrhage: susceptibility-weighted imaging findings

A 16-year-old boy presented with posterior cervical pain radiating to the right upper limb. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intramedullary cavernous angioma (CA) in the level of C2. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) showed longitudinal hypointensity from the bulb to the lev...

Zusammenfassung:A 16-year-old boy presented with posterior cervical pain radiating to the right upper limb. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intramedullary cavernous angioma (CA) in the level of C2. Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) showed longitudinal hypointensity from the bulb to the level of T1, which was suggestive of a longitudinal fiber-dissecting hemorrhage (Figure).
