Cavernous haemangioma in the interpeduncular cistern: case report and review of literature. Journal of Postgraduate Medicine. 2001 Jul-Sep; 47(3): 191-3http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/11739410 references.A rare case of a cavernous haemangioma in the interpeduncular cistern is reported. The patient, forty-five year old male presented with excruciating left sided trigeminal neuralgia and diplopia for the past one year. Examination revealed left third and fifth nerve paresis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined, lobulated tumour in the interpeduncular cistern. The tumour was totally excised through a subtemporal route. Histology of the tumour revealed a cavernous haemangioma. Extracerebral location for a cavernous haemangioma is rare. An interpeduncular cavernous haemangioma has never been reported earlier in literature. The clinical and radiological features are discussed and relevant literature is briefly reviewed.engCavernous Sinus --pathologyCentral Nervous System Neoplasms --complicationsDiagnosis, DifferentialHemangioma, Cavernous, Central Nervous System --complicationsHumansMagnetic Resonance ImagingMaleMiddle AgedTrigeminal Neuralgia --etiologyCase Reports
