Dural cavernous angioma: MR features.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The imaging features of a cavernous angioma, which originated from the meninges, are presented. The patient harbored a second cavernous angioma within the brain parenchyma. Cavernous angioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of dural lesions, especially when other cavernous angiomas are present.

Dural cavernous angioma: a preoperative diagnostic challenge.
BACKGROUND Dural cavernous angiomas are uncommon benign vascular malformations which may present intraoperative difficulties in hemostasis when the diagnosis is not suspected preoperatively. Preoperative diagnosis can be difficult when angiomas show atypical features and share imaging characteristics with other entities. METHODS A patient presented with a radiographically aggressive lesion, s...
متن کاملCavernous hemangioma of the dura mater mimicking meningioma
BACKGROUND Cavernomas are benign lesions that most commonly occur intra-parenchymally, but occasionally they have been described as arising from the dura mater. Extra-axial cavernous angiomas (or hemangiomas) account for 0.4-2% of all intracranial vascular malformations, and they usually occur in the middle cranial fossa, associated with the cavernous sinus. Other possible localizations (e.g. t...
متن کاملMR imaging of cavernous sinus involvement by pituitary adenomas.
The ability of high-resolution MR imaging (1.5 T) to detect invasion of the cavernous sinuses by pituitary adenoma was determined through a retrospective review of 74 patients. These patients were divided into three groups: 25 normal subjects, 24 subjects with invasive pituitary adenomas, and 25 subjects with noninvasive pituitary adenomas. A fourth group of 30 patients, who subsequently underw...
متن کاملSimultaneous occurrence of developmental venous anomalies and cavernous angiomas.
PURPOSE To study the clinical and radiologic findings in 15 patients presenting with both developmental venous anomalies and cavernous angiomas and to determine which lesions caused the acute clinical symptoms. METHODS Lesions were infratentorial in 7 patients and supratentorial in 7 other patients. In one patient the developmental venous anomaly was infratentorial and the cavernous angioma s...
متن کاملA T1 hyperintense perilesional signal aids in the differentiation of a cavernous angioma from other hemorrhagic masses.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A cavernous angioma is a developmental vascular malformation with a high risk of hemorrhage. The purpose of this work was to retrospectively determine whether an MR sign of T1 hyperintense perilesional signal intensity is useful for the differentiation of cavernous angioma from other hemorrhagic cerebral masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board appro...
