BACKGROUND: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular malformations that account for 5%-15% of all central nervous system vascular malformations. However, multiple CCMs, which can be sporadic or familial, are rare, with a prevalence of 0.1%-0.5%. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here, we presented a rare case of sporadic multiple CCMs in an infant, which were accompanied with multiple cavernous malformations of the chest and skin. CONCLUSIONS: CCMs were pathologically diagnosed through the total resection of the pineal regional lesion. We also observed a spontaneous regression of the remaining lesions during a follow-up period of 2 years. To our knowledge, this is the first case of CCMs in an infant in the English-language literature.
