Giant cerebellar cavernomas in children are rare and must be differentiated from hemorrhagic cerebellar tumors. The diagnosis and treatment of giant cerebellar cavernomas is challenging, but complete surgical resection can lead to favorable outcomes and complete neurological recovery in most cases. We present a case of eight months old baby who was diagnosed with a giant cavernoma resulting in secondary obstructive hydrocephalus with neuropsychiatric presentations. The patient underwent a paramedian craniotomy surgery with a suboccipital approach and complete surgical resection of the cavernoma was done. Over nine months of observation, the child showed improvement in their ability to walk and fully recovered from a neurological perspective. We also conducted a literature review to identify eleven cases of giant cerebellar cavernomas in children, including our case. The data were analyzed to determine the clinical features, treatment, and outcomes of giant cerebellar cavernomas in children.
儿童巨大小脑海绵状血管瘤较为罕见,必须与出血性小脑肿瘤相鉴别。巨大小脑海绵状血管瘤的诊断和治疗具有挑战性,但在大多数情况下,完整的手术切除可带来良好的预后并使神经功能完全恢复。我们报告一例8个月大的婴儿,被诊断为巨大海绵状血管瘤,导致继发性梗阻性脑积水并伴有神经精神症状。该患者接受了经枕下入路的旁正中开颅手术,并完整切除了海绵状血管瘤。经过9个月的观察,患儿的行走能力有所改善,并且从神经学角度完全康复。我们还进行了文献综述,以确定包括我们病例在内的11例儿童巨大小脑海绵状血管瘤病例。对数据进行分析,以确定儿童巨大小脑海绵状血管瘤的临床特征、治疗方法和预后情况。
