title: [A Case Report of Stereotactic Craniotomy for the Cerebral Cavernous Angioma].
abstract: A 59-year-old woman presented with right sensory loss and right hemiparesis. In February 2013, she was admitted to Araki Neurosurgical Hospital. A magnetic resonance imaging was performed that revealed a left temporal lobe hemorrhage. The image also showed a chronic stereotype hematoma. After 14 days of hospitalization, she underwent a stereotactic craniotomy. Subsequently, by postoperative pathological evaluation, the hematoma was diagnosed as a cavernous angioma. She had no postoperative complications. She was provided rehabilitation support and was discharged 28 days after the admission following which she rejoined work. A stereotactic craniotomy device is very useful in surgeries involving deep lesions. We present a case of stereotactic craniotomy and a few investigation reports.
