Summary | An 8-year-old boy presenting with left-angle paralysis, tremor in upper and lower extremities, and diplopia was diagnosed with hemorrhage from a mesencephalic cavernous hemangioma. He underwent hemangiomectomy through the occipital transtentorial approach 4 weeks post-hemorrhage, after which Holmes tremor (HT) markedly reduced. A year later, hemangioma has not recurred; he is now independent in his daily activities. Early intervention in the subacute stage allows for the complete removal of brainstem cavernomas (BSCs), with minimal risk of complications or sequelae. Proper timing and surgical approach for BSCs can prevent re-bleeding and improve HT after an initial hemorrhage, without any lasting negative consequences. |
