[A case of thalamic cavernous hemangioma in an infant]

The case reports an asymmetric, slowly increasing hydrocephalus with left leg monoplegia. The vascular origin of the tumor was suspected by CT scan and confirmed by surgery and the pathology analysis. These tumors are infrequent in childhood especially in this region. The surgical treatment before hemorrhagic complication permits to hope good results in the absence of malignancy.
