Background:
Capillary haemangioma of the central nervous system is extremely rare. Histologically proven cases developed in the dura mater and choroid plexus, or were typically intracranial extensions of an extra-cranial lesion.
Features:
This report details a case that developed in the anterior choroidal artery of a newborn infant and manifested as a lethal intra-cerebral haemorrhage. Pathological criteria for the diagnosis of vascular malformations should be carefully investigated and the differential diagnoses of the present case are discussed.
Prognosis:
Intracranial haemangioma presents a diagnostic challenge and the treatment of deep lesions remains problematic.
