Abstract
Calvarial hemangiomas are rare benign tumours of the skull bone for which seizure as a presentation is unusual; neurological deficits are uncommon. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the parietal bone causing seizure disorder in a 47 year old man. The tumor was removed enbloc with satisfactory methylmethacrylate cranioplasty. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Patient received short course of antiepileptic drugs with satisfactory recovery. This case demonstrates that seizure disorder can occur in Calvarial haemangiomas as a rare complication. A review of relevant literature is included herein.
