  • Title: [Brain and spinal cord cavernoma. Value of MRI and review of the literature. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Abid R, Carlier R, Idir AB, David P, Hurth M, Doyon D.
    Journal: J Radiol; 1993 Nov; 74(11):563-7. PubMed ID: 8283411.
    Abstract:
    MRI has transformed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma, a hamartoma that is most often located in the central nervous system. The appearance of this lesion is fairly characteristic with MRI. This technique has allowed distinguishing multiple forms. Encephalic sites are most frequent, with rare medullary sites, and double brain and cord locations are exceptional. Many cases of single or multiple brain involvement have now been reported. Series of medullary involvement are much less frequent and include few cases. Double sites in the brain and cord are exceptional. The authors present a case of cavernous hemangiomas of the central nervous system with multiple encephalic sites associated with a single medullary site confirmed by surgery.
