Trigonal cavernous angioma presenting with selective ventricular exclusion

J Neurosurg Sci. 2010 Dec;54(4):153-7.

Abstract

We present a case of a patient with an intraventricular cavernous angioma originating from the splenium of the corpus callosum presenting with intracranial hypertension syndrome. In our case the growth of the lesion from the corpus callosum toward the ventricular spaces determined the direct exclusion of the occipital and temporal horn of the left lateral ventricle.
