Cavernous angiomas or hemangiomas or cavernomas are benign, vascular malformations of the central nervous system and classified as occult vascular brain lesions, usually present in adulthood. With the advent of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, these lesions are increasingly recognized in children. We report two cases of pediatric brain cavernomas where the children presented with recurrent seizures. Imaging findings were suggestive of giant cavernous hemangioma. The lesions were excised completely and the patients recovered well without deficits with good control of seizures.
海绵状血管瘤或血管瘤或海绵状瘤是中枢神经系统的良性血管畸形，被归类为隐匿性脑血管病变，通常在成年期出现。随着计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像的出现，这些病变在儿童中越来越多地被识别出来。我们报告了两例小儿脑海绵状瘤病例，患儿表现为反复发作的癫痫。影像学表现提示巨大海绵状血管瘤。病变被完全切除，患者恢复良好，无功能缺损，癫痫得到良好控制。
