Abstract

Key Words: Calcified Cavernous Angioma, Intramedullary Tumour, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Spinal Cord Cavernous Angioma
A case of a heavily ossified cavernous angioma of the spinal cord along with its histological features and surgical implications is reported. The unusually dense calcification and even bone formation along with the unique eggshell-like cyst formation posed problems in diagnosis and surgical excision. This calcified vascular lesion was treated by subtotal excision.
