Abstract:
We present a 64-year-old woman who was evaluated after being found unresponsive. Imaging revealed a foramen of Monro cavernoma resulting in hydrocephalus. Supratentorial cavernomas are most frequently found in the cerebral cortex, and although ventricular cavernomas do occur, they are rarely located in the foramen of Monro. Foramen of Monro cavernomas are extremely dangerous, requiring aggressive management when identified.
