Summary

We report a rare intraventricular cavernous angioma from the corpus callosum splenium causing intracranial hypertension. The tumor’s growth obstructed the left lateral ventricle, leading to significant neurological symptoms.

Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen. The...

Background:

Intraventricular cavernous angiomas are rare vascular malformations.
Lesions originating from the corpus callosum splenium are particularly uncommon.
Cavernous angiomas can present with diverse neurological symptoms, including those related to increased intracranial pressure.

Observation:

A case of a patient with an intraventricular cavernous angioma arising from the splenium of the corpus callosum is described.
The lesion exhibited significant growth towards the ventricular system.
This growth led to the direct exclusion of the occipital and temporal horns of the left lateral ventricle.

Findings:

The intraventricular cavernous angioma caused a syndrome of intracranial hypertension.

Tumor expansion into the ventricular space resulted in mass effect and cerebrospinal fluid flow obstruction.

The specific location and growth pattern were critical in determining the clinical presentation.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of considering rare vascular lesions in the differential diagnosis of intracranial hypertension.
Understanding the anatomical relationship between corpus callosum lesions and ventricular structures is crucial for surgical planning.
Further research into the natural history and optimal management of intraventricular cavernous angiomas is warranted.
