A Case Report of Hemorrhagic Cavernoma Masquerading as a Thrombosed Aneurysm.
Curēus 2023 December
Cavernous malformations are vascular lesions characterized by dilated blood vessels with minimal intervening brain parenchyma. Although often asymptomatic, they can present with seizures, headaches, or neurological deficits. Accurate diagnosis relies on magnetic resonance imaging, with characteristic features such as a "popcorn" appearance. We present a case of a 45-year-old male with chronic headaches and seizures who underwent an extensive work-up. Initial magnetic resonance imaging suggested a thrombosed aneurysm, with subsequent cerebral angiography being unremarkable, supporting the final diagnosis of a cavernous malformation. Conservative management, initiated for asymptomatic lesions, led to effective seizure control and improved quality of life. This case underscores diagnostic complexities in neuroradiology, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of differentials when faced with unexpected imaging results. Clinicians must remain vigilant for alternative explanations, recognizing the dynamic nature of optimal strategies in neurovascular medicine.
