AI Article Synopsis
- The report discusses two rare cases of cerebral cavernous angiomas in infants aged 9 and 6 months, alongside a review of 11 other similar cases documented in the literature.
- These angiomas are uncommon in infants under one year and typically manifest through symptoms like seizures and increased head size.
- On CT scans, they usually show up as large, dense masses with cysts, requiring differentiation from more common infant tumors such as teratomas and ependymomas; total removal is often feasible due to minimal bleeding and clear margins.
Article Abstract
Two rare cases of cerebral cavernous angiomas in two infants, 9 and 6 months old, respectively, are reported and the other 11 cases in the literature concerning patients in the first year of life are reviewed. Cavernous angiomas of the brain occur rarely in the first year of life and present with seizures and head enlargement. On computed tomographic scan they typically appear as large, hyperdense, unenhanced masses, with large cysts and must be differentiated from tumors more common in infants, such as teratomas, ependymomas, and mixed tumors. Total removal is often possible, even with large lesions, because of the small amount of bleeding and the well-defined limits of the mass.

This study aims to demonstrate the effect of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) on symptoms, hemorrhage rates, and histopathological changes in patients with cavernous malformations (CMs), regardless of whether the symptomatic lesions are hemorrhagic. This single-center retrospective study evaluated symptomatic patients with single CMs treated with GKRS between 2016 and 2023. The patients' demographic data, presenting symptoms, GKRS radiation dose, complications developed during follow-up (hemorrhage, radiotoxicity), the rate of symptom improvement, and histopathological changes of surgically removed CMs were recorded.

Purpose: This report presents two cases of orbital textiloma resulting from retained surgical gauze.
Case Description: Both patients presented with postoperative orbital inflammation unresponsive to medical treatment: one eight weeks after excision of an orbital cavernous hemangioma, and the other six months following surgical repair of an orbital floor fracture. CT scans of the orbit revealed well-defined lesions with a heterogeneous center.
