Isolated spinal epidural haemangioma without vertebral involvement is rare. A case is reported, of an epidural capillary haemangioma in the thoracic region and present the magnetic resonance (MRI) findings, including contrast-enhanced features. MRI, performed on 1.5 T -Magnetrom, using T1, proton density (PD) and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences, revealed a well defined bilobed mass in the left half of the spinal canal, extending from D8 to D10 vertebral bodies.
