Convexity dural cavernous haemangioma mimicking meningioma: A case report

Xiang Wang et al. Br J Neurosurg. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Dural cavernous haemangiomas are rare, and they do not display a classical ring of haemosiderin on MRI as parenchymal cavernous haemangiomas. Sometimes, they are misinterpreted as meningiomas with a dural tail sign. In this short report, a 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with a convexity cavernous haemangioma, and the tumour was totally resected.

Keywords: cavernous haemangioma; convexity; diagnosis; dural; meningioma.
