Spinal angiolipoma with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage

J Clin Neurosci. 2007 Oct;14(10):992-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jocn.2006.04.024.

Abstract

Angiolipoma is a rare tumor of the spine commonly presenting with compressive myelopathy. We report a spinal angiolipoma in a 14-year-old patient with acute spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). To our knowledge this is the first reported case of a spinal angiolipoma presenting with SAH, associated with post-subclavian coarctation with diffuse hypoplasia of the descending aorta. This association of coarctation of aorta, aortic hypoplasia and spinal angiolipoma has also not been reported previously.
