Cavernous hemangioma, also known as cavernous angioma, accounts for 10-20% of vascular malformations.1,2 Extra-axial lesions are rare. Most tumors are found in the sinuses, Meckel’s cavity, posterior fossa, including the cerebellarpontine angle and internal auditory meatus.3 This paper reports the clinical case of a patient with cavernous hemangioma involving the internal auditory meatus whose ...

The association between vascular malformations and cerebral gliomas is unusual. While the association between cavernous angioma with gliomatous lesions is even more rare, it is considered by certain authors to be a particular pathological entity termed angioglioma. The authors report on two cases of association of a cavernous angioma with a ganglioglioma and an oligodendroglioma respectively. S...

In this issue of AJNR, Wilms et al ( 1) add to the ongoing debate whether the venous angioma, more recently called developmental venous anomaly (2), can be symptomatic, whether it alone can bleed, or whether such hemorrhage occurs because of the concomitant occurrence of a cavernous angioma . This debate is not just semantic. It is essential to pathophysiologic understanding of a given lesion s...

INTRODUCTION Intramedullary cavernous angioma (ICA) is a rare lesion of the spinal cord, representing only 3% - 5% of central nervous system lesions. The coexistence of trigeminal neuralgia and refractory itch is very rarely encountered in clinical practice. To our knowledge, a report of an ICA with trigeminal neuralgia and local neuropathic itch has never been published to date. Thus, we prese...

Haemangioblastoma, a benign vascular tumor derived from the capillary of endothelial cells, is an inherited disorder due to an autosomal dominant trait. The prevalence rates accounted for 1% to 2.5% of all intracranial tumors and 2% to 3% of all intramedullary spinal cord tumors. We report the infrequent case of a robust allegation of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) associated haemangioblastoma in the ...

Since the introduction of microscopic techniques, radical surgery for cavernous angiomas has become a recommended treatment option. However, the treatment of motor area cavernous angioma represents a great challenge for the surgical team. Here, we describe an approach guided by frameless neuronavigation and preoperative functional mapping with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), for surgic...

introductioin Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), also known as cavernous angioma, is a type of vascular malformation in the central nervous system. To date, rare cases of CCM and seizure have been reported in pregnancies. Nowadays, the management of such condition in pregnancy is still a challenge due to lacking of experiences. We presented a case of pregnant woman with CCM combined with ep...

A 27 year old man had attacks of violence for three years before he died in 1945. Necropsy revealed multiple cavernous angiomata of the brain. This man's daughter died in 1969 at the age of 28 years after a year of intermittent headaches. Necropsy showed a large cavernous angioma in the right temporal lobe. Until now the literature has contained only scanty circumstantial evidence for a familia...
