Spontaneous resolution of multiple hemangiomas of the brain. Case report.
A case of multiple intracerebral hemangiomas is reported. The lesions were angiographically hypervascular and accompanied by marked perifocal brain edema. After removal of the main lesion and postoperative steroid administration, the rest of the lesions resolved spontaneously. Histologically, the lesion was composed of capillaries and fibromyxoid stroma. The distinctive clinical, radiological and histological features of this lesion are discussed in contrast to several other types of intracranial vascular tumors.
