Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis presents with multiple, progressive, rapidly growing cutaneous hemangiomas associated with widespread visceral hemangiomas in the liver, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and meninges. Described here is a case of diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis with predominant central nervous system involvement. The early appearance of central nervous system lesions on imaging can overlap with that of cavernous malformations, confounding diagnosis; however, rapid growth, response to steroids, cystic appearance with sedimentation levels of the mature lesions, and involvement of other visceral organs can help confirm the diagnosis.
