pubmed:abstractText
A 32-year-old male, who had had temporal lobe seizure for the past 10 years, was admitted to the neurosurgical institute of Tenri Hospital on March 10, 1981. Physical examination on admission revealed some memory disturbance, neuroasthenic tendency and a purplish nevus in the left foot. Plain x-ray series of the skull showed several nodular calcified lesions in the medial aspect of the left temporal lobe. Electroencephalography showed sporadic negative spikes and irregular slow waves dominant in the left anterior quadrant of the head. CT scan showed a high-density area in the left hippocampal gyrus with slight enhancement by contrast medium. Under stereotactic consideration, a left temporal osteoplastic craniotomy and total removal of the mass were performed on March 20, 1981. The histological examination proved it to be calcified cavernous hemangioma or hemangioma calcificans after Penfield and Ward (1948). Postoperative course was uneventful; even 4 weeks after surgery, electroencephalogram became normalized, and memory and anxiety scores became better. At present, in spite of decreased anticonvulsant, the patient has had no more seizure since surgery, and has returned to his business without any complaint. The authors have emphasized the necessity of active operation for hemangioma calcificans even for the one located in the depth of the dominant cerebral hemisphere. Stereotactic consideration can make the surgical risk minimize. CT scan especially with its contour plot of the images is helpful precisely to locate the lesion. For the nevus in the left foot, the biopsy was refused by the patient, which might have connection with the intracerebral cavernous angioma.
