title: Cavernous hemangioma of the infratemporal fossa.
abstract: Cavernous hemangiomas are most commonly found in the head and neck region. We report a case of infratemporal fossa cavernous hemangioma. Extensive workup included CT scan, MRI, and angiography. Treatment involved surgical excision using the Weber-Ferguson approach. Successful excision of the tumor was possible because of accurate preoperative localization of the mass, as well as morphologic examination that ruled out those infratemporal fossa tumors requiring different surgical approaches.
