This study presents a rare pediatric brain tumor case, a voluminous cavernoma in the ventricular trigone. The tumor exhibited a unique T2-weighted MRI finding, a hypointense rim, offering new insights into these rare lesions.

Area of Science:

Neuro-oncology
Pediatric Neurology
Neuroradiology

Background:

Cavernomas (cerebral cavernous malformations) are rare vascular malformations.
Intracranial cavernomas predominantly occur in adults, with only 10 pediatric cases documented in the ventricular system.

Observation:

A case of an 11-year-old girl with absence seizures is presented.
The patient underwent surgery for a large cavernoma located at the ventricular trigone.

Findings:

The cavernoma demonstrated a hypointense rim on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
This specific MRI finding was uncommon in previously reported pediatric ventricular cavernoma cases.

Implications:

Highlights the rarity of pediatric intraventricular cavernomas.
