Paraganglioma of the cauda equina: MR and angiographic findings

Abstract

Paragangliomas of the cauda equina are rare benign highly vascular tumors and occur almost exclusively in the cauda equina and filum terminale of the spinal cord. We present a case spinal paraganglioma of the cauda equina in a 75-year-old male with an emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging and conventional angiography findings. Keywords: Paraganglioma, Cauda equina, MR, Conventional angiography
