Cavernous angioma within an olfactory groove meningioma. Case report

Journal of Neurosurgery
Olivier KleinThierry Civit

Abstract

The authors present the case of a 60-year-old woman who was admitted to their institution after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Neuroimaging data demonstrated an olfactory groove meningioma surrounded by a slight edema, but there was no evidence of SAH, although results of the lumbar puncture demonstrated xanthochromic cerebrospinal fluid. Angiography confirmed the diagnosis of meningioma, but results of magnetic resonance imaging led the authors to suspect a cavernoma within the meningioma. This diagnosis was established by pathological examination of the resected lesion. The patient did well and was discharged soon after surgery. This very rare association and the propensity of each of these lesions to be revealed by hemorrhage are discussed.

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
