BackgroundHemangiomas of the bone are benign, uncommon, slow-growing lesions accounting for <1.0% of all bony neoplasms. Intraosseous occipital hemangiomas are rare, and occipital hemangiomas presenting with features of raised intracranial tension are, with only 2 cases reported to date.Case DescriptionIn this case report, we describe the unique case of a 30-year-old male patient presenting with raised intracranial pressure due to venous obstruction at the torcula. The patient underwent excision of the lesion and became symptom free.ConclusionsAlthough these are benign lesions, they can have a varied clinical presentation. An understanding of the different clinical presentations and surgical nuances in excising such tumors can lead to early diagnosis and good patient outcome.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
