Abstract
A 19-year-old girl presented with symptoms of severe headache and diplopia. Investigations revealed a large and partly calcified lesion in the pineal region. At surgery a large cavernoma was identified and was radically resected. Following surgery, the patient recovered from all her symptoms. Giant cavernomas in the pineal region are rare. The literature on the subject is reviewed.Entities:
