    Summary

    This study on skull hemangiomas found frontal bone tumors were most common, unlike prior literature. Surgical excision is recommended for effective treatment of these vascular tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can affect the skull.
    • Previous literature suggests parietal bone predominance and female predilection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical and radiological characteristics of skull hemangiomas.
    • To compare findings with existing literature and discuss optimal treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 25 skull hemangioma cases.
    • Literature review to compare demographic and localization data.
    • Analysis of radiological findings and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Frontal bone was the most frequent location (25 cases).
    • Male to female ratio was 17:8, contradicting reported female predominance.
    • Direct puncture with contrast injection is optimal for visualization.

    Conclusions:

    • Skull hemangioma location may vary geographically or with diagnostic methods.
    • Surgical total extirpation with a margin of healthy tissue is the treatment of choice.
    • En bloc excision is the preferred surgical technique for skull hemangiomas.
