Abstract
An infantile case of surgically resected brain stem cavernous angioma is presented. This 21-month-old boy was admitted to our department aft er repeated severe pontine hemorrhage. A deeplying lesion with hematom a was successfully removed via the IV ventricle approach. Few infantil e cases of this lesion have been presented previously, and the approac hes to brain stem cavernous angiomas in infants are discussed.
