## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare pediatric case of cerebral cavernoma and emphasizing physical examination in diagnosis.

## Key findings

- Cerebral cavernomas in infants are rare and present unique diagnostic challenges.
- Clinical manifestations vary with age, complicating diagnosis and treatment decisions.

## Abstract

Cerebral cavernomas belong to a group of vascular lesions characterized by varying structural properties and presentations. Clinical manifestations vary among patients and are particularly influenced by age, posing challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Here, we present a pediatric case of a cerebral cavernoma, which is very rare. We further aim to emphasize the importance of a good physical examination.
