Cerebral cavernous hemangioma is rare hamartomas of vascular structures. It is mostly seen in the supratentorial region, but also in the infratentorial region. It is usually asymptomatic, but may cause epilepsy, focal neurologic signs and headache. Nowadays, the most valuable diagnostic test in imaging and evaluation of cavernous hemangiomas is MRI. The lesions are smooth bordered and on T1WI and T2WI images central region is seen in mixed and increased signal intensity. Due to hemosiderin deposits, peripheric region shows decreased signal intensity. Our case differs from the cases presented in the literature, because it has infratentorial involvement beside multiple supratentorial lesions.©2005, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
