Background: Cervical cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare, benign lesions, and only a few cases are reported. Cervical cavernous Hemangiomas are characterized by an increase in the number of normal and abnormal veins. The majority of these lesions are superficial, often found in the head and neck area, but may also occur in the inner parts of the body. The occurrence of these lesions in th...

intra-tumoral bleeding, rupture and thrombosis are common complications of hemangioma but spontaneous and self limited rupture and fever is a very rare presentation of hemangioma. this report is about a 38-year-old woman with sever abdominal pain and high fever came for evaluation. in us she had a liver mass of about 15 cm in left lobe with possibility of being hemangioma and, ct scan and mri c...

a 36-year-old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain since three months previously and no other significant medical history was referred for evaluation of an abdominal mass. upon clinical examination, a large palpable mass in the mid -upper abdominal area was noted. abdominal ultrasound and spiral ct-scan showed a large hepatic mass in the left liver lobe. the patient was referred for t...

A 77-year-old female presented with a rare cavernous sinus cavernous hemangioma with extension to the sella turcica, neuroradiologically mimicking nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma. The lesion was partially removed via transsphenoidal surgery, and the histological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. After stereotactic radiosurgery using a cyber knife, the lesion decreased in size. Stereotac...

The distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) immunoreactivity in the cavernous tissue and the erectile response to intracavernous injection of CGRP was investigated in 7 monkeys. Intracavernous CGRP increased cavernous arterial flow and induced cavernous smooth muscle relaxation and venous outflow occlusion. Intracavernous injection of CGRP antibody did not significantly change th...

Unilateral carotid cavernous fistula presents with ipsilateral ocular findings. Bilateral presentation is only seen in bilateral fistulas, usually associated with indirect (dural) carotid cavernous fistulas. Direct carotid cavernous fistulas are an abnormal communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. They typically begin with a traumatic disruption in the artery w...

To classify the cerebral cavernous malformations and to investigate the natural history of cavernous malformations according to the classification, 41 patients with 61 cavernous malformations (40 cavernous malformations from 22 patients treated with gamma knife surgery) were regularly followed up using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for a mean period of 25.5 months in treated cavernous malform...

We have read with interest the article “Dynamic Enhancement Features of Cavernous Sinus Cavernous Hemangiomas on Conventional Contrast-Enhanced MR Imaging” by Y. Jinhu et al published in the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology. The authors reported progressive contrast “filling in” in cavernous hemangiomas in the cavernous sinus as an important differential diagnostic sig...

PURPOSE To evaluate the significance of cavernous sinus gas identified on head CT scans. METHODS Head CT scans were viewed prospectively for a period of 3 years. The charts of patients who demonstrated cavernous sinus gas were reviewed. RESULTS Seventeen patients without head trauma and 10 patients with head trauma demonstrated gas in the cavernous sinus. None of the patients had symptoms o...

Post-traumatic sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm arising from the cavernous segment of internal carotidartery (ICA) is rare, and even rarer occurrence an associated carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). Here we presentthe case a young male patient presenting with intractable epistaxis due to post-traumatic sinuspseudoaneurysm carotid artery simultaneous fistula.
