Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Liaocheng People's Hospital, Liaocheng, China.
Cavernous hemangiomas of the external auditory canal simultaneously affecting the tympanic membrane are extremely rare. Endoscopic otosurgery has been successfully used for resecting various ear lesions because of its wider surgical field of view and minimal trauma. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient who presented with a 6-month history of left ear congestion.

Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a type of cerebrovascular abnormality in the central nervous system linked to both germline and somatic genetic mutations. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have shown that various drugs can effectively reduce the burden of CCM lesions. Despite significant progress, the mechanisms driving CCM remain incompletely understood, and to date, no drugs have been developed that can cure or prevent CCM.

Purpose: Familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome (FCCM) is characterized by multiple hemorrhagic lesions and is sometimes mistaken for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).
Methods: We compared clinical and radiologic characteristics in patients with definite (N = 32) and presumed FCCM (n = 76) to patients with definite (N = 29) and probable CAA (N = 21).
Results: Patients with CAA were older (78.

Department of Neurosurgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, JiNan, China.
We report a case and follow-up of an adult male with intracranial yolk sac tumor (YST). Initially, the patient presented with abnormal high signals in the right basal ganglia on MRI, misdiagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma. However, within 2 years, the condition rapidly progressed into a large, hypervascular solid neoplasm leading to a basal ganglia hemorrhage.
