Huge multilobular cavernous angioma in an infant: case report.
The authors encountered a rare case of multilobular cavernous angioma arising from the paraventricular region in an infant. Total resection of the angioma, which was 8 cm in diameter, was performed. The patient showed no neurological deficit. Although 22 cases in infants have previously been reported, this is the largest cavernous angioma and it is especially rare because of its multilobular configuration.
