Skull vault hemangioma

Discussion:

Case findings are consistent with skull vault hemangioma (also known as cavalrial hemangioma).

 

Learning points:

  • skull vault hemangiomas are benign, indolent vascular neoplasms affecting the skull diploë, with frontal and parietal bones commonly implicated
  • CT findings consistent with skull vault hemangioma include:
    • expansile bone lesion with thin borders
    • "sun-ray/burst" pattern of trabecular internal striation radiating from a common center
  • management may involve radiotherapy, surgical resection, and/or embolization
