Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Revealing a Cervical Intradural Extramedullary Cavernous Malformation: A Case Report and Literature Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Spinal cavernomas are uncommon among spinal vascular malformations. Most arise in the vertebrae, with some extending into the extradural space. A few are intramedullary, while intradural extramedullary cases are even rarer. This study reports a newly diagnosed case of a cervical intradural extramedullary cavernous malformation (IDEM) at the University Hospital Center of Agadir. A 48-year-old female patient presented with severe headaches of abrupt onset. A brain CT scan showed a diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage in the basal cisterns, with extension into the ventricles. Following this finding, the patient was admitted to the neurosurgery department for further investigation and developed a sudden-onset right hemiparesis. A cerebral MRI scan showed ventricular flooding with triventricular hydrocephalus. Subsequently, a spinal cord MRI was performed, which identified an extramedullary intradural lesion at the C3/C4 level, characterized by a heterogeneous signal, consistent with an IDEM cavernoma. The patient underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunting for hydrocephalus, followed by surgical resection of the lesion. Histopathology confirmed a cavernous malformation. Postoperatively, the patient achieved full motor recovery, with no recurrence at the one-year follow-up.
