[Intramuscular capillary-venous angioma extending into the infratemporal fossa. Apropos of a case].
A rapidly growing tumor in the temporal area extended into the infratemporal fossa. Imaging findings favored a hypervascularized meningo-sarcoma type extracranial tumor, but the pathology report on the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of capillaro-venous angioma. The therapeutic approach was preoperative hyperselective embolization then access via the temporal and infra-temporal fossa for simple tumor exeresis. Mature angiomas and access via the infra-temporal fossa are reviewed.
