Periventricular cavernomas presenting with hydrocephalus and superficial siderosis are uncommon lesions. We report a rare case of one such periventricular cavernoma located in the peritrigonal location of the right lateral ventricle in a 26-year-old male who presented with progressive headache for 3 months. Magnetic resonance imaging showed heterogeneous lesion with “blooming” on susceptibility-weighted imaging and superficial siderosis due to repeated microhemorrhages. The lesion was resected and found histopathologically to be cavernoma. We present this uncommon lesion with a review of the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
