Summary
Radiological findings of surgically verified cavernous hemangiomas of the cavernous sinus are presented with special reference to the appearance in magnetic resonance imaging. Differences in radiological features of the cavernous sinus cavernous hemangiomas and intracerebral cavernous hemangiomas are discussed.
