<p>Dissection aneurysms of the vertebral artery are a rare pathology occurring mainly in young people. Their most frequent manifestation is pain, which might be accompanied by cerebral ischemia events. Also rare is hemorrhage, with just one case described in literature. In our study, hemorrhage from a dissection aneurysm of the vertebral artery in a 37-year-old male led to the formation of an epidural hematoma of the cervical spine, which is unique and has never manifested itself when treating this pathology. Nevertheless, reconstructive surgery was a success, with the aneurysm removed and the vertebral artery lumen preserved.</p><p>Received 28 April 2018. Revised 10 May 2018.

Chondromas are benign tumors that are rarely located in the spine. The authors present a rare occurrence of a spinal chondroma that developed as an intradural but extramedullary tumor in a 60-year-old woman. The location of the tumor at C4–5 was confirmed by MRI, with hyperintensity on T2-weighted images and isointensity on T1-weighted images. The tumor was completely contained intradurally, with no continuity to any vertebrae. It adhered to the anterior dura, indicative of its likely origin from the dura mater. The tumor was completely resected, with no sign of recurrence after 3 years postoperatively. Although reports of chondromas originating from the dura mater have been previously described, these have all been intracranial tumors. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of an intradural chondroma located in the spine. Therefore, chondromas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intradural spinal tumors.
