Discussion & Conclusion

Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?

A: Good

Comments: The Discussion establishes that the capillary hemangioma (CH) is a benign vascular neoplasm that usually manifests in the skin and mucosal tissue, mainly observed in the pediatric population and that CH of dorsal intramedullary intradural location is a rare case. The Discussion illustrates the clinical presentation. It also states that a histologic distinction should be made between capillary and cavernous hemangioma. The Discussion highlights that surgery should be the treatment of choice for intramedullary intradural (CH). Relevant literature has been cited to support the discussion. The study concludes that the in spite of the absence of previous embolization, the patient’s results and recovery were remarkable.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: The case report presents the first case of a 47-year-old man suffering from the dorsal intradural intramedullary capillary hemangioma (CH). CH of dorsal intramedullary intradural location is a rare case. This study highlights that laminectomy and total resection under microscopic vision played an important role in the improvement of the patient’s quality of life. Post-surgery the patient improved remarkably. The study illustrates that despite the absence of previous embolization, the patient’s results and recovery were wonderful. The study emphasizes the need for complete surgical removal in these cases. 

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?
