The latter association is extremely rare; in fact, there is only 1 case reported in the literature, in which the cavernoma was obscured by the presence of a cerebral hemorrhage and an unruptured aneurysm, which was presumed to be the primary cause of the bleeding, thereby misleading the surgeons to treat only the aneurysm. 2 There are different
The CT and MRI showed a 20 mm middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm immediately below the cavernous angioma which measured 50 mm (see Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Figure 2A, Figure 2B, Figure 3A, Figure 3B, Figure 4 and legends for description), findings which were supported by a catheter angiogram (see Figure 5). It was estimated that the
Cortical lamination abnormalities together with vascular lesions are subsumed as FCD IIIc. Little is known regarding frequency and etiology of this entity. Here, we systematically evaluated biopsy specimens from 72 drug-refractory epilepsy patients with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) regarding presence of associated FCD.

In this condition, tiny blood vessels called capillaries group together. They grow with extremely thin walls that can leak easily.
These findings are highly in accordance with results provided by Jeon et al, 5 who performed a comparable analysis on 410 mostly solitary-type I, II, and III CCMs in a population older than 18 years of age: The authors reported an increased annual hemorrhage risk of type I and II lesions (27.6% and 15.4%, respectively) compared with type III
Cavernous malformations (CMs), also known as cavernous angiomas or cavernomas, are low-flow vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord that consist of clusters of dilated sinusoidal channels lined with endothelial cells that do not exhibit intervening tight junctions. The involved blood vessels lack muscular and elastic layers, and
Intracerebral venous angioma is a rare congenital vascular malformation of the brain. Three cases are reported, all of which had strikingly similar angiographic findings in the venous phase, viz., a local network of small medullary veins which converge centrally into a single large venous channel which courses transcerebrally to reach the superficial venous system. No gross abnormalities are

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are vascular malformations that can occur as a sporadic or a familial autosomal dominant disorder. Clinical and cerebral MRI data on large series of patients with a genetic form of the disease are now available. In addition, three CCM genes have been identified: CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2/MGC4607, and CCM3/PDCD10. These recent developments in clinical and molecular
Abstract. Cavernomas are common, benign vascular lesions that affect the brain. Five-year bleeding risk is approximately 3.8% for asymptomatic lesions. Non-spontaneous, traumatic cavernoma haemorrhage has been seldom reported. We present the case of a 49-year-old male with multiple traumatic brain injuries who was managed conservatively.

CASH (cavernous angioma with symptomatic hemorrhage) is defined as evidence of new lesional bleeding or hemorrhagic growth (≥3mm) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in association with directly attributable symptoms. 1 CASH patients are at high risk for recurrent bleeding or focal neurological deficit within 5 years (42%, 95% CI: 27–58). 2
Conclusions: Surgical indications of brain stem cavernoma include (1) progressive neurologic deficits; (2) overt acute or subacute hemorrhage on MRI either inside or outside cavernous malformations with mass effect; (3) cavernoma/hematoma reaching brainstem surface (<2 mm brain tissue between cavernoma /hematoma and pial surface). Grave
Familial cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCM) is a disorder characterized by multiple vascular lesions in the brain and spinal cord that consist of clustered, endothelial-lined caverns ranging in diameter from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Cerebral and/or spinal cavernous malformations may increase in number over time, and individual lesions may increase or decrease in size. The
T2*-weighted imaging benefits substantially from 7-T field strength due to greater susceptibility effects, spatial resolution, and signal-to-noise ratio ( 1 ). That is evident in this case, as 7-T MRI enabled visualization of the DVA that was not visible at 3 T. DVAs associated with CCMs carry a higher risk of hemorrhage ( 2 ), but lower-field
