| Abstrakt: | Cavernoma, also called a cavernous malformation, is a vascular malformation that happens during development. It tends to look like a berry-shaped lesion. In cerebral hemorrhagic cavernous malformations (cavernoma), T1-weighted imaging that shows hyperintense perilesional edema in brain masses is an unusual radiological finding. This sign's association with cavernoma is gaining prominence. We present the case of a 35-year-old female patient without significant medical history who reported a seven-day history of left-side weakness that began in the upper limb, progressed to the lower limb, and was associated with nausea. The non-contrast T1- T1-weighted images displayed a gradient of hyperintense content of the lesion with surrounding relatively hyperintense perilesional edema. The patient consequently underwent surgery to evacuate the hematoma and excise the lesion, which went uneventfully. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
