Description
Summary:Cavernous hemangiomas, also known as deep hemangiomas are benign tumors of blood vessels, including normal and abnormal vascular structures, that develop in skin tissue and sometimes even in deep tissues. Its intraneural development in the peripheral nerve is very rare with less than 50 cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a cavernous hemangioma of the medial sural nerve in a patient with symptoms of severe pain and allodynia with complete resolution of symptoms with microsurgery. El hemangioma cavernoso, conocido también como hemangioma profundo, es una neoplasia benigna de los vasos sanguíneos, que se caracteriza por la presencia de gran número de vasos normales y anormales sobre la piel u otros órganos internos. Su desarrollo de forma intraneural en nervio periférico es muy raro, con menos de 50 casos informados en la literatura. Presentamos un caso de un hemangioma cavernoso del nervio sural medial en una paciente con clínica de dolor severo y alodinia con resolución completa de la sintomatología tras su tratamiento mediante microcirugía.
