Abstract
A case is reported of an infant with a giant cerebellar vermis hemangioma which was totally removed. The excised specimen contained both cavernous angioma-like and telangiectasia-like portions with intervening cerebellar tissue. The tumor was considered to be a mixture of cavernous hemangioma and telangiectasia.
