Abstract

An infantile case of surgically resected brain stem cavernous angioma is presented. This 21-month-old boy was admitted to our department after repeated severe pontine hemorrhage. A deeplying lesion with hematoma was successfully removed via the IV ventricle approach. Few infantile cases of this lesion have been presented previously, and the approaches to brain stem cavernous angiomas in infants are discussed.
