Abstract
- Recent improvement of MRI has enabled us to clearly visualize intramedullary spinal lesions which previously could not be recognized by CT scan or myelography. We reported a case of hematomyelia caused by intramedullary cavernous hemangioma. In this case, MRI was very useful in efforts to recognize the lesions. With the use of MRI, we will be able to accurately ascertain the location and characteristics of intramedullary spinal lesions. The number of surgically treated cases of idiopathic hematomyelia will increase in the future.
