Abstract

Hemorrhage due to capillary telangiectasia is rare. We report a case of capillary telangiectasia presenting with repeated cerebellar hemorrhage in a 38-year-old male. To our knowledge this is the first case of repeated cerebellar hemorrhage from the capillary telangiectasia. At the first operation, we removed hematoma only, but rebleeding occurred repeatedly in the same area. Finally, we evacuated the recurrent hematoma and vascular mass of capillary telangiectasia at the second operation under surgical microscope. Based on the findings of this case and a review of the literature, we conclude that capillary telangiectasia can be the cause of the massive repeated hemorrhage.
