Cavernomas of the spinal cord: report of two patients.

Two operated cases of spinal cord cavernomas are presented. Since spinal angiography is usually normal and myelography not specific, the contribution of magnetic resonance imaging to the diagnosis is emphasized. Surgical considerations of treatment are discussed.
