title: Dural-Based Cavernoma of the Posterior Cranial Fossa Mimicking a Meningioma: A Case Report.
abstract: Cavernous angiomas usually occur in the parenchyma of both the supra and infratentorial compartments. At times, they can both clinically and radiologically mimic other dural-based lesions. We present a case of a patient with chronic occipital headaches, initially thought to have a meningioma, but proven to be a cavernoma with histological analysis.
