This paper reports a rare case of a dumbbell-shaped epidural capillary hemangioma with foraminal extension, noting that MR imaging findings are consistent with other epidural lesions.

Abstract

We report a case of a purely epidural capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spine with foraminal extension. Epidural hemangiomas are rare; only a few cases of dumbbell-shaped ones have been reported, and all were cavernous. MR imaging showed characteristic findings of a capillary hemangioma, which are also consistent with other epidural lesions such as neuromas or meningiomas.
