Introduction: Spinal schwannomas are benign intradural extramedullary tumors of Schwann cells, while hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors found in the vertebral column.
Case Representation: This case study presents a 32-year-old male who developed both a spinal schwannoma and multiple thoracic vertebral haemangiomas following a COVID-19 infection and subsequent vaccination. The patient reported intermittent lumbar and thigh pain over 6-8 months.

Spinal cord meningiomas are typically benign, rare tumors that pose clinical challenges owing to their location and potential for spinal cord compression. This study aimed to assess the radiological features of spinal cord meningiomas and the key factors associated with their recurrence. We conducted a retrospective, single-institution study on 67 patients with pathologically confirmed spinal cord meningiomas who were surgically treated between January 2016 and December 2023.

Most often presenting with cranial neuropathies, basilar meningitis or pituitary/hypothalamic dysfunction, isolated involvement of the spinal cord without cranial manifestations is exceptionally rare, often involving intramedullary lesions. Here, we present the unique case of a 64-year-old female with atypical neurosarcoidosis presenting with myelopathy from extra-dural nodules without other neurologic or systemic symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of one-piece resection for treating ventral intradural extramedullary spinal meningiomas (VIESMs) by analyzing demographic and surgical data from patients treated between January 2017 and December 2023.
- - A total of 27 patients (average age 63.37) underwent the procedure, with results showing no recurrences on MRI and significant improvement in neurological status for 74.07% of the cases, although one patient faced cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
- - The findings conclude that one-piece resection is a safe and effective method for VIESMs, emphasizing techniques like maintaining a clear surgical corridor and careful dural coagulation to minimize complications and recurrence.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare, benign lesion of uncertain etiology, predominantly affecting soft tissues such as the lungs, with spinal involvement being exceedingly rare. We present the case of a 10-year-old male with a year-long history of low back pain, constipation, and difficulty in urination. MRI revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion at L5-S1, initially suspected to be a schwannoma or neurofibroma.
