A cavernous haemangioma of the Gasserian ganglion in a 37-year-old man is presented. It is the third reported case of cavernoma in this region, where infrequently tumors develop. Carotid angiogram shows a network of neoformed vessels in the middle cranial fossa. The hypotheses about the malformative origin of this tumor and the differential diagnosis toward other highly vascularized meningeal tumors are discussed.

Abstract
A cavernous haemangioma of the Gasserian ganglion in a 37-year-old man is presented. It is the third reported case of cavernoma in this region, where infrequently tumors develop. Carotid angiogram shows a network of neoformed vessels in the middle cranial fossa. The hypotheses about the malformative origin of this tumor and the differential diagnosis toward other highly vascularized meningeal tumors are discussed.
