Convexity dural cavernous haemangioma mimicking meningioma: A case report

Abstract

Dural cavernous haemangiomas are rare, and they do not display a classical ring of haemosiderin on MRI as parenchymal cavernous haemangiomas. Sometimes, they are misinterpreted as meningiomas with a dural tail sign. In this short report, a 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with a convexity cavernous haemangioma, and the tumour was totally resected.

Key words:

• cavernous haemangioma
• convexity
• diagnosis
• dural
• meningioma
