Fetal cavernous angioma--case report.
A neonate male who developed cavernous angioma was born with a severe intraventricular hemorrhage and intraparenchymal hemorrhage in the basal ganglia. magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large, non-enhanced hematoma that packed the lateral ventricle. Surgery on the 2nd day of life verified a cavernous angioma associated with minimal hemosiderin and gliosis. Fetal cavernous angiomas, unlike such malformations in other age groups, can present with a devastating hemorrhage because of the lack of gliosis in the surrounding brain.
