%X <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Cerebral cavernous malformations are a rare and
congenital vascular malformation that can present as a challenge in
neurosurgical management. The term ˇ°giant cerebral cavernous malformationsˇ±
still does not have a clear definition in the literature, with a wide variety
of results. It is known, however, that there is an association between the size
of the cavernoma and postoperative sequelae, especially in those with a size
greater than 3</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">cm in
its largest diameter. We present a case report of resection of a giant brain
cavernoma measuring approximately 8</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">cm in its largest diameter, emphasizing on clinical
presentation, diagnoses and postoperative evolution. Additionally, we performed
a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the subject, ad</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">d</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ressing the epidemiology, pathoph</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ysiology, diagnostic methods, treatment options,
and prognosis associated</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> with this condition.
