| Popis: | Hemangiomas constitute a heterogeneous group of benign vascular proliferations of skin and mucous membranes and very rarely known to develop in the brain or spinal cord. We report here a case of multiple intracranial capillary hemangiomas presenting with transient neurological deficit. The patient underwent stealth MRI brain utilizing 15 ml of Magnevist for stereotactic localization and biopsy was done to establish the diagnosis. It is pivotal to differentiate benign hemangiomas from primary cerebral vascular tumors including hemangioblastoma, hemangioendothelioma and hemangiopericytoma, as later are known for more aggressive biologic behavior. |
