Abstract

Cerebral cavernous hemangiomas are rare hamartomas of vascular structure. Thev are not true neoplasms, but mimics neoplasms clinically and radiologically. Cavernous hemangiomas are vascular malformations that can occur in all parts of the central nervous system but most commonly in the cerebral hemispheres. Focal neurological deficits and symptoms of intracranial hypertension are the most frequent clinical manifestations in children with large (>3 cm) cerebral cavernomas. (1)Rarely, patients applies with epileptic seizures. In this study, a 7 months old girl who applied with epileptic spasms and with hypsarrhythmi patterns on EEG, with normal metabolic tests findings, antiepileptic treatment-resistant seizures and cavernous hemangioma detected in cranial imaging, whose hypsarrhythmi pattern in the electroencephalogram disappeared after surgery with decreasing seizure frequency, is presented to emphasize that the etiological factors are the most important determinants in the prognosis of epilepsy
