title: [Cavernous hemangiomas of the brain: report of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases of encephalic cavernous hemangiomas successfully surgically treated are described. Neurological clinical picture is not characteristic and it is given by the size, number and location of lesions in addition to the possibility of bleeding. Precise diagnostic done by angiography, gammagraphy and CT scan is of utmost importance to consider surgical approach. Surgery is the best means to treat the lesion although if surgery is contraindicated prognosis is poor due to episodes of hemorrhage that can accompany this pathology.
