Cerebral cavernous hemangiomas are rarely seen malformations of vascular stuctures. While sporadic forms usually single lesions, multiple lesions are more common familial type of situation. Symptomatic patients with headache, epileptic seizure, focal neurological deficits, hemorrhage, or combinations of these apply to the hospital. Our case differs from the cases presented in the literature, because it has infratentorial involvement beside multiple supratentorial lesions and our case with multiple cavernoma is not hereditary.
Özet
Serebral kavernöz hemanjiomlar vasküler yapıların nadir görülen malformasyonlarındandır. Sporadik formda lezyonlar genellikle tek iken, lezyonların multipl olması daha çok familyal tipte rastlanılan bir durumdur. Semptomatik hastalar başağrısı, epileptik nöbet, fokal nörolojik defisit, hemoraji veya bunların kombinasyonu ile hastaneye başvururlar. Bizim olgumuz multiple supratentoryal lezyonların yanı sıra infratentoryal tutulumun da birlikte görülmesi ve multiple kavernom olmasına rağmen herediter geçişli olmaması nedeniyle literatürdeki sunumlardan farklılık göstermektedir.

Abstract
Cerebral cavernous hemangiomas are rarely seen malformations of vascular stuctures. While sporadic forms usually single lesions, multiple lesions are more common familial type of situation. Symptomatic patients with headache, epileptic seizure, focal neurological deficits, hemorrhage, or combinations of these apply to the hospital. Our case differs from the cases presented in the literature, because it has infratentorial involvement beside multiple supratentorial lesions and our case with multiple cavernoma is not hereditary.
