RESUMO

The diagnosis may be suspected by spinal MRI, where fat suppression techniques are important to. Usually ,the lesion is amenable to total surgical excision and the functional prognosis is good. Histopathologically consist in a adipose cell matrix intermixed with vascular endothelial channels. We present a case of an thoracic SEA, whose was clinically evident during pregnancy. A literature review is made and the relationships between SEA and pregnancy are discussed as well as the main diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of this lesion.
