Cavernous angioma, cavernoma, cavernous hemangioma, also called cerebral cavernous malformation (when present in the brain), are benign vascular malformations, usually intraparenchymal; however, a few reported cases are in the extra-axial location-as middle cranial fossa, near the cavernous sinuses, and in the cerebellopontine angle-and are rarely reported as dura-based convexity lesion resembling meningioma. We report a giant dura-based, convexity, a cerebral cavernous malformation. We wish to notify the case as occurring at a rare location and a large-sized cerebral cavernous malformation. A case of young female presented with a long-standing history of headache. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) suggested right occipital dura-based large mass lesion of approximately 5 cm in diameter. The lesion was excised and pathology studies confirmed the diagnosis of a cerebral cavernous malformation. A follow-up MRI confirmed total resection of the lesion and the patient had a smooth postoperative recovery.
海绵状血管瘤，又称海绵状瘤、海绵状血管畸形（当位于脑内时称为脑海绵状畸形），是一种良性血管畸形，通常位于脑实质内；然而，有少数报道的病例位于轴外部位，如中颅窝、海绵窦附近以及桥小脑角，并且很少有报道称其为类似脑膜瘤的硬脑膜凸面病变。我们报告一例巨大的基于硬脑膜的凸面脑海绵状畸形。我们希望通报该病例发生在一个罕见的部位且为大型脑海绵状畸形。一名年轻女性病例，有长期头痛病史。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像（MRI）显示右枕部基于硬脑膜的直径约5厘米的巨大肿块病变。该病变被切除，病理研究证实为脑海绵状畸形。随访MRI证实病变已完全切除，患者术后恢复顺利。
