Third ventricular cavernous haemangioma

Intraventricular cerebral cavernomas: a series of 12 patients and review of the literature

“…In cases of acute hydrocephalus, temporary external ventricular drainage was usually ap-plied before surgical extirpation of the lesion, and in 5 previously reported cases permanent shunt treatment was indicated. 14,24,33,49,61 In this group, in 4 patients the cavernoma was in the third ventricle, and 1 newborn had a large lesion in the lateral ventricle.…”

Purely Neuroendoscopic Resection of an Intraventricular Cavernous Angioma: Case Report

“…5,6 Some authors advocate the use of neuroendoscopy to establish the diagnosis of a ventricular cavernoma. 7,8 As far as we know, there are only two reported cases of intraventricular cavernous angioma resection done by endoscopy. 2,5 The objective of this article is to describe a case in which we were successful in removing a cavernoma of the lateral ventricle using pure neuroendoscopic technique.…”

Angiographically occult vascular malformation of the third ventricle

“…They are rarely venous angiomas. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Herewith, we present the first report of a thrombosed AOVM of the third ventricle, causing ventricular dilatation due to mass effect.…”

“…Reported third ventricular angiographically occult, histologically verified, cerebrovascular malformations are cavernous malformations (23 cases) and venous angiomas (1 case). 1,3,6,7 Thrombosed AOVM has been reported in a lobar location, but not in the ventricular system. 9,11 Our case is the first reported intraventricular thrombosed AOVM.…”
