Radiosurgery for Cavernous Malformations

2007
The role of radiosurgery for cavernous malformations of the brain remains to be fully defined. We have used Gamma Knife radiosurgery for selected patients with symptomatic, hemorrhagic malformations in high-risk brain locations. Indications, techniques, and results are presented.

Epidemiology of cavernous malformations

2017
Cavernous malformations, accounting for approximately 5-15% of all vascular abnormalities in the central nervous system, are angiographically occult lesions which most often present with seizures, rather than acute hemorrhage. Widely variable across populations, the incidence of cavernous malformations has been reported to be 0.15-0.56 per 100 000 ...

BRAINSTEM CAVERNOUS MALFORMATIONS

Neurosurgery, 2009
Brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs) continue to present a considerable source of controversy in the neurosurgical community, with an accumulating volume of literature detailing their natural history and their surgical and radiosurgical management. As part of a systematic review of the literature, 12 natural history studies, 52 surgical series, and ...

Intracranial cavernous malformations

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2003
Cavernous malformations are commonly being recognized on CT and MR imaging in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. The diagnosis of CMs can often be made on MR imaging based on the characteristic morphology of the subacute and chronic blood products.

Pharmacotherapy for cavernous malformations

2017
Cerebral cavernous malformations, vascular abnormalities comprised of endothelial cells in the absence of connective tissue or muscle, are often epileptogenic and often treated initially with antiepileptic drugs. This chapter discusses the role of pharmacotherapy in managing focal epilepsy secondary to cavernous malformations in adults, children, and ...

Cavernous Malformations of the Spinal Cord

Neurosurgery, 1988
Abstract Six patients with intramedullary cavernous malformations of the spinal cord are presented. Four men and two women presented with acute, subacute, or episodic signs and symptoms of spinal cord dysfunction, ranging in duration from 3 days to 25 years. All patients underwent operative resection of the malformation. Complete removal

Spinal cord cavernous malformation in a patient with familial intracranial cavernous malformations

Neurosurgery, 1990
Abstract The case of a 30-year-old woman with a hemorrhage caused by a rare intramedullary cavernous malformation is presented. The patient underwent laminectomy with total removal of the lesion. A cranial magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrated multiple cavernous malformations.

Thalamic cavernous malformations

Surgical Neurology, 2000
Only few anecdotal reports and small series of thalamic cavernous malformations have been reported. It follows that the clinical behavior and management are poorly understood; in particular, experiences with the surgical treatment of these lesions are scarce.The clinical course, treatment, and outcome of 12 patients (10 females and 2 males, mean age 36
