Giant cerebral cavernous haemangioma: a case report and review of literature
Abstract
An 18-year-old male presented with uncontrolled left focal seizures with secondary generalisation for the past 10 years. Investigations revealed a large lobulated mass in the right frontal brain. Surgical excision of a giant cavernous haemangioma was performed. The patient is seizure-free following the surgery. The case and relevant literature on the rare entity of giant intracranial cavernous haemangiomas is discussed.
