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: Cauda equina; Conventional angiography; MR; Paraganglioma.
