Cavernous angioma of the posterior fossa dura mimicking a meningioma: case report and review of literature
Abstract
A cavernous angioma of the posterior fossa dura was discovered incidentally on neuroimaging studies. The clinical and pathologic features of this lesion are described. Although it has been reported to arise in the posterior fossa and the tentorium cerebelli, we present the first case of such a malformation arising from the dura of the posterior fossa.
