Tumour incident

Cerebral bridge angioma

Cerebral ganglion angiomas are rare vascular malformations manifested by bleeding (20%) or seizures (60%). They are found in 0.02-0.13% of the population and may be hereditary. They are diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. Their treatment is conservative or surgical. The probability of bleeding is 0.6-3% per year. The following example illustrates the total microsurgical removal of angioma from the brainstem (4th ventricle territory) in a young patient after bleeding dysplasia. The probability of complications after similar surgeries is high but in the present case the patient was neurologically intact postoperatively.
