| Abstract | Cystic cavernous angiomas are rarely found in patients. We have reviewed 25 cases of cystic cavernous angiomas, including our case. The patients were predominantly women (15 women and 10 men). The patients' ages ranged from 4 months to 75 years (mean age, 44.0 years). The most frequent symptoms were headache (32%) and cerebellar signs (32%), followed by papilledema (24%), hemiparesis (20%), and seizures (20%). The cystic cavernous angiomas were located in the supratentorial region in 16 (64%) cases, the cerebellopontine angle in 4 (16%) cases, and the cerebellum in 5 (20%) cases. Multiple cystic lesions were observed in only two cases (8%). The typical magnetic resonance images of these patients showed a mixed-intensity nodule on the T1- and T2-weighted images, iso- to high-intensity cysts on the T1-weighted images, and high-intensity cysts on the T2-weighted images. In some of the images, the nodules and cyst walls were enhanced. On the T2-weighted images, the periphery of the cyst showed low intensity. The approach involving total removal of the nodule, partial resection of the cyst, and drainage of the content of the cyst is considered a preferable strategy. Histologically, the nodule showed a network of thin-walled vascular channels lined by endothelium. Hemosiderin deposits and calcification were observed in some cases, and neural tissue was absent. The cyst wall was composed of neocapillary-containing fibrous tissue and showed a proliferation of inflammatory cells and hemosiderin deposits. The etiology of cyst formation remains unclear; however, recurrent hemorrhage from the sinusoids of the vascular malformation or from the neocapillary of the cyst wall and the osmotic transport of water into the cyst are thought to induce the growth of the cyst. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
