We report the unusual case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type I, who was irradiated 16 years previously for a mesencephalic glioma causing hydrocephalus, and who developed a cerebellar haemorrhage caused by a histologically confirmed cavernous angioma, that was invisible on several earlier MRI scans. The different hypotheses concerning the de novo formation of cavernous angiomas (venous obstructive disease and genetic abnormalities) are succinctly reviewed.

Background: Cavernous hemangiomas can occur in various internal organs like the liver, kidney, bladder, and skin, or even in subcutaneous tissues. However, they rarely occur in the lungs, making pulmonary cavernous hemangiomas (PCH) an uncommon finding. Herein, we report a rare case of pulmonary cavernous hemangioma that was surgically resected.

Orbital apex lesions represent a clinical challenge since they are difficult to remove surgically and may induce significant functional defects. The orbital apex is an area of convergence of neurovascular elements passing through the various local osseous foramina and the congestion of several critical anatomical structures in a confined space increases the risk of intraoperative complications. Radiotherapy is an alternative treatment option in such cases but may also induce radiation toxicity.
