Abstract
Multiple cavernous hemangiomas with fluid-fluid levels were presented in a 40-year-old male patient. These hemangiomas showed nonspecific radiologic features on ultrasound and computed tomography, but gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with subtraction revealed fluid-fluid levels with unique and different enhancement of the inferior and superior layer. This is the first case report of cavernous hemangiomas with fluid-fluid levels, containing radiologic features of dynamic MRI with subtraction.
