title: [A case of a giant cavernoma located in the temporal region].
abstract: We present a case of a 21-year-old female with a giant cavernoma (5 cm x 3.1 cm x 3.6 cm) located in the left temporal region. Giant cavernomas are very rarely diagnosed. In our research we wanted to focus on the occurrence of these vascular malformations and diagnostic problems related to this matter.
