This study reports a rare pineal region cavernoma successfully treated with total excision. Microsurgical removal offers excellent outcomes for pineal cavernomas, a rare brain tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Pineal region cavernomas are rare vascular malformations.
  • Diagnosis is often challenging due to non-specific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male with a pineal region cavernoma underwent successful total excision.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging confirmed the diagnosis with high sensitivity and specificity.
  • Literature review of 15 cases showed a female preponderance and peak incidence in the second and third decades.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical resection is the preferred treatment for pineal cavernomas.
  • Microsurgical excision yields excellent patient outcomes.
  • Stereotactic biopsy carries a risk of hemorrhage, and radiosurgery's long-term risks are unevaluated.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Microsurgical techniques offer a safe and effective treatment for pineal cavernomas.
  • A conservative approach may be considered for older patients with comorbidities.
