BACKGROUND: @entity14325 ( @entity14325 ) are uncommon benign lesions that may present insidiously with back @entity158 or acutely with @entity425 due to @entity5 bleeding/ @entity715 . Given their rarity, these lesions are often overlooked in the differential diagnosis of epidural masses. The purpose of this article is to report the case of an epidural SAL and to conduct a literature review on the topic. METHODS: A case report and review of the literature using the PubMed/Medline databases. All case reports and case series were reviewed up to June 2015. RESULTS: A 65-year old female presented with @entity613 and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed @entity2649 . Following decompressive surgery, she experienced symptom resolution, but three months postoperatively she presented to the emergency department with acute paraparesis. A thoracic MRI revealed a lesion located between T8 and T10 causing severe @entity1745 . Following emergent laminectomy and en bloc resection, the @entity1 regained function and the lesion was diagnosed as SAL. Our literature review revealed 178 reported cases, with a female and thoracic predominance. The majority of @entity1 underwent surgical treatment, achieving a gross total resection in most cases. Similarly, complete symptom resolution was the most common outcome. CONCLUSION: @entity14325 are uncommon @entity5 . However, they may be treated as any other space-occupying lesion, and surgical resection allows for complete symptom recovery in most @entity1 .
