Abstract
- The authors report a rare case of aggravated myelopathy due to rebleeding of intramedullary cavernous angioma during pregnancy. A 29-year-old woman with a intramedullary cavernous angioma of the lower thoracic spinal cord was initially managed with a conservative treatment. She suffered the progressive paraparesis 16 months later during the 3rd trimester of her pregnancy. The follow-up magnetic resonance imaging revealed rebleeding of the previous cavernous angioma. The entire lesion was resected with a standard microsurgical technique after delivery, and her neurological symptoms subsequently resolved.
