Abstract:
A case of extracerebral cavernous hemangioma located within the middle cranial fossa and involving superior petrosal sinus is described in a 58-year-old woman presented with left ocular pain and severe headache. We treated her with operation under the preoperative impression of meningioma which was removed totally. Postoperative pathologic diagnosis was a cavernous hemangioma.
