Abstract

Cavernous hemangiomas are rare account representing 5%-13% of the intracranial vascular malformations and occur in approximately 0.5%-1% of the population. We report the case of 34-years-old woman, having a medical history of seizure, admitted for headache with binocular diplopia. The radiology investigation and operatory piece has shown an association of cavernous sinus hemangioma and frontal focal cortical dysplasia. This study highlights clinical, radiological and therapeutic features of this entity.

Keywords: Cavernous hemangioma; Extra-axial; Focal cortical dysplasia; MRI.
