Abstract
Two cases of extracerebral cavernous hemangioma in the middle fossa are reported. Cerebral angiography showed a large avascular mass lesion in each case, but the tumors were very vascular at operation. Recovery of vision occurred in one case postoperatively. Diagnosis and treatment of these tumors are discussed.
