Cavernous Hemangioma on the Frontal Lobe

ABSTRACT

Cerebral cavernous hemangioma is very rare disease in the cerebral vascular malformations. We experienced a case of this vascular malformations at the left frontal lobe near the cortex which had symptoms and signs of abrupt generalized tonic-clonic seizure. This malformation is encountered more commonly in adult in the third to fifth decade, and is found most frequently in the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere. The value of computerized tomography(C-T) in the detection of such malformations is stressed. Good result was obtained by the microsurgical approach to these malformations.
