Abstract
Congenital primary intracranial angiosarcoma (CAS) is an exceptionally rare tumor [1–6]. To our knowledge the imaging features of intracranial angiosarcomas have only been briefly mentioned in the neuropathologic literature [4–6]. To our knowledge, only one case of CAS has been reported [3]. We present a case of a pathologically proven CAS found in a neonate.
