Abstract
Intradural extramedullary cavernoma is a rare cause of compression to spinal cord or nerve roots. Its manifestation characteristics are well defined and should always be part of the differential diagnosis. Intraoperative findings aid the diagnosis in nontypical cases before the final histology. The nontraumatic and nerve tissue sparing surgical resection warrants optimal postoperative results and excellent prognosis.
