Intracranial cystic cavernous angioma: a case report.
We present a case of cystic cavernous angioma in an 18-year-old woman with the chief complaint of acute onset of seizures. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a tumor with a slightly enhanced solid calcified portion and a large cystic portion. The patient was well without recurrence 6 months after surgery. The importance of MR imaging in the differential diagnoses is emphasized.
