Research Notes on Cavernous Malformation
Cavernous angioma, also known as cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), cavernous haemangioma, and cavernoma, is a vascular disorder of the central nervous system that may appear either sporadically or exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance. It can also occur in other locations, such as the thyroid gland or the liver. Clinical symptoms of this disease include recurrent headaches, focal neurological deficits, hemorrhagic stroke, and seizures, but CCM can also be asymptomatic. ...more from Wikipedia
Fast Facts:
- The prognosis for CCM is variable for each individual, since the location and number of lesions determine the severity of the disorder.1
- Main treatment options are observation and surgery.2
- Affects about 0.5 percent of the worldwide population.3
