Case Description: Here we report a patient who presented with a spinal angiolipoma contributing to spinal cord and neural foraminal compression that was difficult to differentiate from a schwannoma. Conclusion: Spinal angiolipomas rarely involve the spinal canal/foramina. Utilizing neurodiagnostic studies with pathological confirmation, these lesions may be differentiated from schwannomas.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/d474a1bf-9228-4233-9c45-3eaa471a9178/featured/hero-1782420876491.png","publishDate":"2018-04-10T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/sni.sni_38_18","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"http://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/8830/SNI-9-79.pdf"}
