ABSTRACT

Cavernomas or cavernous malformations are the most common clinically significant vascular anomalies, accounting for 8–15% of all brain and spinal vascular malformations. While there are several articles in the literature on cavernomas, most cases report haemorrhage from these lesions as the cause of cranial nerve palsies. We report a rare case of multiple intracranial cavernomas in the brain and pons causing an isolated compressive sixth nerve palsy.
