Epidemiology of Cavernous Malformations

Handbook of Clinical Neurology / Edited By P J Vinken and G W Bruyn, 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 ...

Cavernous Venous Malformation (Cavernous Hemangioma) of the Orbit: Current Concepts and a Review of the Literature

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2017
The cavernous venous malformation of the orbit, previously called cavernous hemangioma, is the most common primary orbital lesion of adults. Cavernous venous malformation occurs more often in women and typically presents in the fourth and fifth decades ...

Cavernous malformations

2022
Cavernous malformations are relatively common intracerebral malformations of which we only became properly aware after the introduction of MRI. They may be sporadic or familial. Familial CMs may be multiple and new lesions appear over time requiring intermittent MR control. Many sporadic CMs have no symptoms.

Radiosurgery for cavernous malformations

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1998
Object. The authors examined 22 patients with cavernous malformations (CMs) who had undergone gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) to assess the value of this procedure in treating these lesions. Methods. At the Karolinska Hospital, GKRS was used to treat 23 patients with CMs during the period of 1985 through 1996.

Spinal cavernous malformations

2017
Spinal cavernous malformations are rare intramedullary vascular lesions of the central nervous system. Most are located in the thoracic spine. Patients present with either acute neurologic deficit or gradual deterioration. Weakness is the most common presenting symptom. The annual hemorrhage risk is 2.1%. Diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance imaging

Pathology of cavernous malformations

2017
Cavernous malformations (CMs) are low-pressure angiographically occult lesions, composed of blood-filled sinusoidal locules known as "caverns." Although these lesions were once believed to be congenital in nature, there is compelling evidence to support de novo formation of CMs as well. They can occur as sporadic lesions or be inherited in an autosomal-

Thalamic cavernous malformations

2017
Cavernous malformations of the thalamus represent a particularly complex subset of cavernous malformations because of the highly eloquent nature of the involved tissue and their deep location. The decision about whether to operate on any individual lesion depends on the specific location of the lesion within the thalamus, the nature of the patient's ...

Neuroimaging of Cavernous Malformations

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2017
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular abnormalities often discovered on imaging as an incidental finding. The most common clinical presentations of CCMs include seizure, headache, focal neurological deficits, and intracranial hemorrhage.

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 ...
