Abstract

Giant cavernous angioma mimicking cerebellar neoplasm with major bleed: a case report Cavernous angiomas (CAs) of the central nervous system are angiographically occult vascular lesions and are easily diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CAs are common lesions and comprise 5 to 13 % of intracranial vascular anomalies.These vascular lesions are clinically silent. In the posterior fossa, CAs usually originate in the brainstem. Data in the literature about CAs localized in the cerebellum are limited to case reports. In this article, we present a child patient with a giant CA of the posterior fossa, and discuss its computed tomography (CT) and MRI findings in the view of the literature as well as it's histopathological features.

Özet

Majör kanamalı serebellar neoplazmı taklit eden dev kavernöz anjiyoma: olgu sunumu Santral sinir sistemi kavernöz anjiyoma (KA)'ları, anjiyografik olarak okült vasküler lezyonlar olup manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile kolaylıkla tanıları konulmaktadır. KA'lar yaygın lezyonlar olup intrakranyal vasküler lezyonların %5-13'ünü oluştururlar. Bu vasküler lezyonlar, klinik olarak sessizdirler. Posterior fossada genellikle beyin sapından köken alırlar. Serebellumda yerleşim gösteren KA'lar hakkındaki literatür verileri, olgu sunumları ile sınırlıdır. Bu yazıda, posterior fossada KA'ı olan bir çocuk hasta, bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT), MRG bulguları ve histopatolojik özellikleri temelinde mevcut literatür gözden geçirilerek sunulmaktadır.
