BACKGROUND: Almost all of the epidural hemangiomas reported are cavernous hemangiomas. Purely extradural spinal capillary hemangiomas are very rare. Capillary hemangiomas are hamartomatous malformations that result from proliferations of vascular endothelial cells. Only ten cases have been reported in the English literature, treated with surgical excision. CASE DESCRIPTION: A case of a dorsal extradural spinal capillary hemangioma is described. A total surgical removal has been performed after spinal angiography and embolization. Complete surgical removal should always be the goal in these lesions. Embolization did not show to reduce bleeding during the surgical procedure in this case.
