Convexity Dura-Based Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Mimicking Meningioma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Asian Journal of Neurosurgery(2022)
摘要
Cavernous angioma, cavernoma, cavernous hemangioma, also called cerebral cavernous malformation (when present in the brain), are benign vascular malformations, usually intraparenchymal; however, a few reported cases are in the extra-axial location-as middle cranial fossa, near the cavernous sinuses, and in the cerebellopontine angle-and are rarely reported as dura-based convexity lesion resembling meningioma. We report a giant dura-based, convexity, a cerebral cavernous malformation. We wish to notify the case as occurring at a rare location and a large-sized cerebral cavernous malformation. A case of young female presented with a long-standing history of headache. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) suggested right occipital dura-based large mass lesion of approximately 5 cm in diameter. The lesion was excised and pathology studies confirmed the diagnosis of a cerebral cavernous malformation. A follow-up MRI confirmed total resection of the lesion and the patient had a smooth postoperative recovery.
