| Summary: | Rare vascular abnormalities of the central nervous system, spinal intramedullary cavernomas make up fewer than 5% of all spinal cord lesions. Symptoms are vague, making diagnosis difficult. A fast and precise diagnosis is made possible by the early detection and characterization of these lesions, which is made possible by radiological imaging, especially MRI with contrast. A 45-year-old man who had intermittent neck discomfort and developed upper limb weakness also had motor and sensory difficulty. Diagnosis of a spinal canal intramedullary cavernoma was confirmed by an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing a distinct intramedullary lesion. This case report focuses on managerial factors and diagnostic problems. |
