Trauma growth: By far most liver hemangioms do not cause any issues at all some are large and like any big complex of blood vessels a traumatic injury like car accident boxing or even skate board fall can break it open or rupture....

Big blood vessel: The cavernous sinuses are actually not the stereotypical sinuses that most people talk about.  If you have sinusitis, you will have inflammation of your paranasal sinuses.
