Abstract:
Cavernous haemangiomas cavernomas of the brainstem can be diagnosed by MRI and safely removed when elective surgery is performed in the subacute stage after haemorrhage. Recurrent haemorrhage and/or neurological deterioration are indications for surgery. In cases with additional venous malformation the cavernoma should be selectively removed. The experiences with our own series of 18 cases are presented.
