Introduction; Spinal intramedullary capillary hemangioma is a rare condition. Although most spinal/spinal cord hemangiomas are inborn in origin, perinatal presentation is uncommon. Case Presentation; We present a neonate with an intramedullary hemangioma, born with communicating hydrocephalus and complete paraplegia. Spinal imagining showed an intradural mass with hemorrhagic foci, a low-lying conus medullaris, and scalloping of dorsal elements. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting was performed in an emergent setting, with cerebrospinal fluid showing a brownish appearance with high viscosity which implied a possible old hemorrhage. Tissue sample was taken from the spinal lesion in an elective setting. Histopathological examination revealed capillary lobules and extralobular large vessels resembling abnormal veins. Discussion/Conclusion; The mentioned clues suggested that this congenital hemangioma had become symptomatic from the prenatal period. Though it is a are event, it should be kept in mind while evaluating a neonate with communicating hydrocephalus and weakness of extremities with or without cutaneous hemangiomatous stigmata.
