: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs), particularly when located in the cerebellum, pose unique clinical challenges due to the risk of hemorrhage and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. Surgical resection is often necessary to prevent further neurological deterioration. This case report describes the management of a symptomatic cerebellar cavernoma, emphasizing the use of microsurgical techniques and long-term follow-up. The objective of this study is to illustrate the surgical approach and outcomes of a patient with a hemorrhagic cerebellar cavernoma. : A 63-year-old female presented with vertigo, and neuroimaging revealed a hemorrhagic cavernous malformation located in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Follow-up was conducted at two months and one year postoperatively, with serial imaging to assess lesion recurrence and neurological recovery. : Complete resection of the cavernoma was achieved without postoperative neurological deficits. Imaging at two months and one year post-surgery showed no signs of recurrence or new lesion formation. The patient remained asymptomatic, with no cranial nerve deficits or other long-term complications. : This case demonstrates the effectiveness of microsurgical resection in treating symptomatic cerebellar cavernomas. The use of advanced intraoperative tools, such as neuronavigation and IONM, contributed to the successful outcome and prevention of postoperative complications. Long-term follow-up remains crucial to monitor for recurrence or the development of de novo lesions.
脑海绵状血管畸形(CCMs),尤其是位于小脑时,由于出血风险以及与关键神经血管结构接近,会带来独特的临床挑战。手术切除通常是预防进一步神经功能恶化所必需的。本病例报告描述了有症状的小脑海绵状血管瘤的治疗,强调了显微外科技术的应用和长期随访。本研究的目的是阐述一名出血性小脑海绵状血管瘤患者的手术方法及结果。:一名63岁女性出现眩晕症状,神经影像学检查显示右侧小脑半球有一个出血性海绵状血管畸形。术后两个月和一年进行了随访,通过系列影像学检查评估病变复发情况和神经功能恢复情况。:实现了海绵状血管瘤的完全切除,且术后无神经功能缺损。术后两个月和一年的影像学检查未显示复发迹象或新病变形成。患者仍无症状,无颅神经缺损或其他长期并发症。:本病例证明了显微手术切除治疗有症状的小脑海绵状血管瘤的有效性。使用先进的术中工具,如神经导航和术中神经监测,有助于取得成功的结果并预防术后并发症。长期随访对于监测复发或新发病变的发生仍然至关重要。
