Abstract

Cavernous angiomas are the second most common intracranial vascular malformation after arteriovenous malformation and represent 15 % of all cerebral vascular malformations. They are congenital malformations and usually present with symptomatic hemorrhages or seizures. In our case report, we have presented a 11 year old female patient who had complex partial seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left amygdala lesion which demonstrated typical signal intensity characteristics of a cavernous angioma. The most common location for intracranial cavernous angiomas is within the cerebral hemisphers followed by pons.

Özet

Kavernöz angiomalar, arteriovenöz malformasyondan sonra en sık görülen ikinci intrakranial vasküler malformasyon olup, tüm serebral vasküler malformasytmlarm % 15 ' ini teşkil ederler. Bunlar konjenital malformasyonlar olup, genellikle semptomatik kanamalar veya nöbetler ile kendilerini belli ederler. Biz olgu sunumumuzda kompleks parsiyel tipte nöbetleri olan H yaşındaki bir kız çocuğunu tanımladık. Olgumuzda manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile sol amigdala lokalizasyonunda kavernöz angioma' ya ait tipik sinyal özellikleri gösteren bir lezyon bulduk. İntrakranial kavernöz angiomalar en sık serebral hemisferlerde görülmekte olup, bunu pons takip etmektedir.
