Complete paraplegia due to multiple intracerebral and spinal cavernomas

We report on a 29-year-old male patient with multiple intracerebral and spi nal cavernomas. Bleeding in the thoracic cord at admission and additional b leeding which occurred 12 days later in the cervical cord resulted in compl ete paraplegia below thoracic level 4 (Th4) Four years earlier multiple cer ebral cavernomas had been diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ba sed upon reported cases in the literature multiple intracerebral and spinal cavernomas are exceptional. Additionally, the clinical presentation in our case is uncommon.
