We present a female in her seventies with progressive cranial neuropathies and gait decline due to a large pontine cavernous malformation. MRI showed a left-eccentric lesion with hemosiderin rim, edema, and tract effacement. A left retrosigmoid craniotomy with middle cerebellar peduncle entry was performed. Microsurgical resection achieved gross total removal while preserving perforators and cranial nerves. Postoperative imaging confirmed complete resection, and the patient experienced neurological recovery, regaining strength, gait, and cranial nerve function.
