Summary
Cerebral cavernous hemangiomas are rare vascular malformations. In the ten cases previously studied by angiography, arterial displacement was demonstrated, but pathologic vasculature has not been seen. The first patient with a cavernoma in which neovasculature, a stain, and early venous filling were discernible at angiography is described. Because of the relative ease of the surgical removal of cavernous hemangiomas, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesions with these angiographic features.
Résumé
Les hémangiomes cérébraux caverneux sont des malformations vasculaires rares. Dans les dix cas étudiés précédemment par angiographie, les auteurs constatèrent un déplacement artériel, mais aucune vascularisation pathologique n'était visible. Ils décrivent le cas d'un malade porteur d'un cavernome avec néovascularisation, opacification de la tumeur et remplissage veineux précoce à l'angiographie. En raison de la relative facilité de l'ablation chirurgicale des hémangiomes caverneux, les auterus conseillent de les prendre en considération dans la discussion du diagnostic différentiel
Zusammenfassung
Die cerebralen kavernösen Hämangiome sind seltene Gefäßmißbildungen Bisher konnten pathologische Vascularisierungen nicht beschrieben werden. Es handelt sich bei der vorliegenden Arbeit um eine Fallbeschreibung eines kavernösen Hämangioms mit dem Nachweis von Gefäßneubildungen und vorzeitigem Venenabfluß.
