Abstract:
:Giant cavernous hemangiomas occur very rarely, and little has been reported about their behavior. In this case report three cavernous hemangiomas with a diametric measure between 6 cm and 7 cm and distinct features will be described. A 36-year-old female patient presented with headache and nausea. A CT scan disclosed a large circumscribed tumor with strong contrast enhancement in the temporo-parieto-occipital region of the right cerebral hemisphere and extension into the right cerebellar hemisphere. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency ward with a generalized seizure and a dilated pupil. The CT scan showed an extensive left frontal lesion containing a substantial hyperintense part, suspicious for hemorrhage. A 3-year-old girl was admitted with generalized seizure and progressively declining consciousness. A large left frontotemporal paraventricular multi-cystic lesion was encountered on the CT scan. All three patients were operated on. Two recovered very well. In the case of the 3-year-old girl stable disease was reached. Giant cavernomas do not differ from average-sized cavernomas in clinical, surgical or histopathological presentation but may differ radiologically. However, the possible diagnosis of cavernoma can be overlooked, due to their size and possible differential diagnosis.
