ABSTRACT
Cavernous malformations (CMs) of the central nervous system are benign, angiographically occult vascular lesions and are diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging techniques. Giant CMs do not differ from smaller-sized CMs in their clinical, surgical or histopathological presentation but may be radiologically different. In this paper, we report a 10-year-old male with a giant CM of 8 × 7.5 × 7 cm in diameter that was completely removed by microsurgical treatment. This case addresses important points for practicing neurosurgeons to consider when making a differential diagnosis of large intracranial mass lesions in pediatric patients. In this report, the radiological features of this vascular malformation are described based on a pertinent literature review.
