β¦ Synopsis
Three cases of symptomatic cavernous angioma occurring in the 1st year of life are presented. All three patients were treated with radical extirpation. Postoperatively, two of them improved, but the third died due to cerebral herniation secondary to recurrence of bleeding of the lesion. The clinical characteristics of cavernous angioma in the 1st year of life are briefly discussed and a review of the literature presented, including 16 previous cases operated on directly.
