Cavernous angioma in the fourth ventricle.
A cavernous angioma in the fourth ventricle of a 47-year-old man is reported. Because of a progressive clinical course and a ring-like enhancement on computed tomography, a brain tumor, rather than a vascular disease, was suspected. The lesion was removed totally and verified histologically as a cavernous angioma.
