Abstract

In a woman aged 45 years after a generalized epileptic seizure CT and MRI demonstrated a lesion of the type of vascular malformation of the brain diagnosed as a haemangioma by angiography which demonstrated also presence of an aneurysm of the left pericallosal artery. Abdominal ultrasonography and tomography found also hepatic haemangioma. Both cerebral vascular lesions were managed successfully in one-step operation. The hypotheses for explaining the coexistence of haemangiomas and aneurysms are discussed.
