title: Surgical strategy for cavernous angioma in hypothalamus.
abstract: A very rare case of cavernous angioma in the hypothalamus is presented. The patient was successfully treated by total excision of the haematoma and angioma, and there was no regrowth of the lesion on follow-up MRI. Complete excision of the angioma is the recommended surgical strategy even for patients with deep-seated lesions.
