Abstract:
We experienced a case of cavernous hemangioma suspected to cerebral cysticecosis. The 23-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to sudden severe headache and generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The computerized tomography showed multiple calcification of bilateral cerebral hemisphere, especially right, and cystic mass on right frontal area with mass effect. The mass was diagnosed cavernous hemangioma under the microscopic examination.
