Background: Capillary hemangiomas of the skin and soft tissue are a common entity, while capillary hemangiomas of the central nervous system are an extremely rare pathology. There are less than 20 published cases of intradural lesions involving the cauda equina.
Case presentation: Herein, we describe a young patient with a capillary hemangioma of the cauda equina that underwent successful surgical resection.
Conclusion: Natural history and post-operative follow-up for patients with spinal intradural capillary hemangioma is uncertain. This is the sole case to have not recurred at 12 months which underwent gross total resection and had a high proliferative index.
