Cavernous hemangiomas affect mainly the brain and infrequently they are located in the intramedullary space. Spinal epidural cavernous haemangiomas are extremely rare and are mainly located to the cervico-thoracic spine. It is infrequently considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal epidural masses. We report a rare case of a cavernous haemangioma confined to the lumbar spinal epidural s...

BACKGROUND Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) is a rare variant of adenocarcinoma of the lung. It frequently shows KRAS mutations, while ALK rearrangement is exceedingly rare. We present a case of ALK-rearranged IMA of the lung presenting with an unusual pattern of brain metastases, radiologically mimicking a cavernous angioma. CASE REPORT A 44-year-old non-smoker female was first diagnosed...

Insular epilepsy has been rarely reported and its clinical and electrographic features are poorly understood. The electrographic study of the insula is difficult since it is hidden from the brain surface by the frontal and temporal lobe. A 48 years-old woman started having simple partial autonomic and complex partial seizures with automatisms and ictal left arm paresis 8 years prior to admissio...

We report the treatment of a patient suffering from intractable epilepsy caused by a large cavernous angioma in the hippocampus of his dominant hemisphere. Surgical removal of a lesion and epileptic focus located in the surrounding brain tissue significantly improves seizure conditions. However, total removal of a large cavernous angioma in the medial temporal structure of dominant hemisphere i...

intractable hiccup most be considered as a symptom of underlying serious pathologies. we report a case of medulla oblongata cavernous angima presented with persistant hiccup and without any improvement during routine nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment regimns. the patient is under our follow up visits and surgery is very high risk for this young girl.

=Abstract=A retrospective review of 22 cases of angiographically occult vascular malformations (AOVMs), treated at our institution during the past 6 years, was conducted to define better the clinical and radiological manifestations as well as the effective treatment modality of these lesions. There were 12 (54.5%) arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), 8 (36.4%)cavernous angiomas, 1 (4.5%) venous ...
