title: Intraventricular cavernous hemangioma: report of three cases and review of the literature.
abstract: The clinical and radiographic presentations of 3 patients with intraventricular cavernous hemangioma are described. The accumulated total of 19 cases from the literature are compared to determine whether there is a common clinical and radiographic presentation for this benign intraventricular lesion.
