“…GCM are very rare and usually not considered in the differential diagnosis of large tumour. Our literature search could locate only 16 cases of GCM (1, 4,5,7,8,12,13,15,20,23,37) including the two cases in the present report, fulfilling our definition of GCM (Table I).…”

Giant cerebral cavernous malformations (GCM) are rare vascular anomalies. They occur predominantly as solitary lesions in the supratentorial compartment. They are usually not associated with any other vascular malformations. Clinical Presentation GCM are common in the second decade, affecting females predominantly, and occur without familial association. They are all symptomatic due to their giant size and location. The GCM mimic neoplastic lesions because of their size and need to be considered in the differential diagnosis. A complete surgical extirpation is the treatment of choice. Use of intraoperative neuronavigation, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of fiber tracts and electrophysiological monitoring assist in safe and total excision of the lesions. A complete surgical excision of GCM is possible without significant surgical morbidity and results in long term cure.KeywOrds: Cavernous malformation, Cavernoma, Cavernous angioma, Giant cerebral angioma ÖZDev serebral kavernöz malformasyonlar (GCM) nadir görülen vasküler anomalilerdir.Bu lezyonlar esas olarak supratentorial bölgede tek lezyonlar halinde görülür ve diğer bir vasküler anomali ile ilişkili değildirler.

“…They account for 5–13% of all cerebral vascular malformations. They are congenital in origin and commonly seen in the subcortical regions of cerebral hemispheres, pons and cerebellum but may occur anywhere in the brain, leptomeninges, spinal cord and reported to occur in intraosseous locations [2, 5, 6]. They can be located in different cranial compartments and extend across different tissue planes such as the subcutaneous tissue, skull, orbital cavity, and intracranial dura mater [7].…”

Supratentorial Convexity Dural-Based Cavernous Hemangioma Mimicking a Meningioma in a Child

A case of a convexity dural-based cavernous hemangioma in a 15-year-old male child is reported. The child presented only with headaches and had no neurological deficits. MRI features were suggestive of a meningioma. The tumor was completely resected and histology was conclusive of a hemangioma. At follow-up after 2 years, the child is asymptomatic and MRI showed no evidence of the lesion. Supratentorial convexity dural-based hemangioma in a child is rare and hitherto only 1 case has been reported in the world literature. Complete resection of the lesion is curative and long-term prognosis is excellent. The uniqueness of the present case is the supratentorial convexity dural-based location, innocuous presentation and unusual radiological features on MRI. The clinical profile, radiological features and management of cavernous hemangiomas in a child are discussed and the current literature is briefly reviewed.
