脑血管错构瘤的分类已经确立。[1]本报告采用的分类包括：[1]毛细血管扩张；[21]海绵状血管瘤；[21]静脉和动静脉血管瘤。毛细血管扩张通常是小的偶然发现，在生活中不会引起症状。仅偶有毛细血管扩张导致神经系统症状的病例报道。在这些患者中，畸形出血总是存在的（见讨论）。本报告的目的是报告一个不寻常和独特的毛细血管扩张病例，由于其大的尺寸和战略位置，导致多年的进行性神经系统症状。
THE CLASSIFICATION of vascular hamartomas of the brain is well established.1J The classification used in this report includes: [l] capillary telangiectases, [ 21 cavernous angiomas, and [3] venous and arteriovenous angiomas. Capillary telangiectases are usually small and incidental findings which do not cause symptoms during life.2-4 Only occasional cases of capillary telangiectases resulting in neurologic symptoms have been reported. Hemorrhage into the malformation has invariably been present in these patients (see Discussion). The purpose of this communication is to report an unusual and unique case of a capillary telangiectasis which, by its large size and strategic location, resulted in progressive neurologic symptoms over a period of years.
