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.

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 ...

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.

Cerebral Cavernous Malformations

New England Journal of Medicine, 2017
A 59-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of progressively worsening headaches. Imaging revealed multiple lesions, and genetic analysis confirmed a diagnosis of the familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome.

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.

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

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 ...

Critically Located Cavernous Malformations

min - Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, 2007
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of patients who underwent resection with the aid of microsurgical techniques and stereotactic and image-guided surgery for critically located cavernous malformations which still represent a considerable surgical challenge due to the close proximity of vital and eloquent structures.Between 1997 ...

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 ...
