We presented a case of a 33-year-old male with multiple nodular CAs growing in a sheet-like pattern along the falx cerebri and convexity dura, which occluded the superior sagittal sinus, destructed calvarium and were associated with an isolated skull CA on the right forehead. Both dura sinus and convexity skull were extensively invaded by these multiple dural CAs without obvious mass effect, suggesting an aggressive infiltration pattern. Invasive dural CAs have been predominantly observed in patients <40 year-old and might be along the extra-axial vasculature.
Therefore, cavernous angiomas should be considered in the diagnosis of dura-based invasive lesions and a closer follow-up might be recommended for young patients with dural CAs adjacent to dura sinus or skull.
