Abstract:
The cavernous hamangioma is a relatively rare intracranial vascular malformation and generally asymptomatic, Seizure is the most common clinical presentation and the hemorrhage is the second. Because reproductive females have the hormonal and hemodynamic changes, the first symptoms might develope in the gestational period. As we experienced a case of intracranial cavernous hemangioma initially diagnosed in pregnancy with new-onset seizures, we report this case with a brief review of literature.
