Abstract

An anterior cervical decompression and fusion operation was complicated by extensive bleeding from the disc space. Histopathological evaluation of the resected specimen revealed the diagnosis as the very first reported case of capillary hemangioma in intervertebral disc space. Retrospective review of the preoperative MRI demonstrated supporting findings of a capillary hemangioma within the cervical intervertebral disc.
