Abstract

|
Cavernous hemangioma (CH) in cranial vault is rare comprising about less than 1% of all benign neoplasms of the bone. The vertebral column is most often affected, followed by the cranial vault. We describe a case of CH in parietal cranial vault. A 6-year-old child presented with skull depression. Brain computed tomography scan revealed a bone defect due to extrinsic compression by soft tissue mass at right parietal bone. This lesion was not without intracranial extension or associated brain abnormality. Brain magnetic resonance image showed a lesion of signal abnormality with low signal intensity on T1 image and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images with no enhancement. She was treated by operation with total excision of mass followed by a cranioplasty. Pathologic examination revealed a capillary hemangioma consisting of thin-walled blood vessels, some of which were distended with blood. She recovered to a favorable state without any neurological deficit.
