“…In adults, the cavernous hemangiomas are reported to arise most commonly in the middle cranial fossa, and occasionally from the dura over the convexity or posterior fossa, tentorium, suprasellar region, falx cerebri, dura in close proximity to the superior sagittal sinus or the petrosal sinuses [13,14,15]. In contradistinction, in the pediatric population, the majority of the cavernous hemangiomas are reported in neonates amongst whom only one case has been reported to arise in the parietal dura mater.…”

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

et al. 2009

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.
