Quick Summary:

  • Hemangiomas are benign malformation of blood vessels that can occur in a number of tissues such as the brain, kidney, liver, lung, skin (called cherry hemangioma), and nasal cavity. Brain Hemangiomas are often observed in individuals over the age of 40 years
  • There are two types of hemangiomas - familial and sporadic. Familial conditions are linked to genetic mutations usually inherited from a parent. The sporadic condition is not linked to a family history of hemangioma and occurs as isolated events
  • There are no known risk factors for Brain Hemangiomas; however, individuals who have experienced cranial irradiation may be more likely to develop this condition
  • Brain Hemangiomas may present with headaches, poor muscle control, impaired sensations, and hemorrhage. Complications could include bleeding in the tumor, secondary infections, and neurological complications
  • 25% of Brain Hemangiomas are asymptomatic; nevertheless, certain complications, such as bleeding, can call for immediate treatment
  • Surgical removal of the hemangioma is typically the best treatment for this condition. In some cases, radiation therapy is also performed
  • Presently, there are no available measures to prevent the development of Brain Hemangiomas
