Venous Malformations in Childhood: Clinical, Histopathological and Genetics Update [PDF]
Our knowledge in vascular anomalies has grown tremendously in the past decade with the identification of key molecular pathways and genetic mutations that drive the development of vascular tumors and vascular malformations.

Natural history of familial cerebral cavernous malformations: the CCM_Italia cohort study [PDF]
BackgroundFamilial cerebral cavernous malformations (fCCMs) are a rare genetic autosomal dominant cerebrovascular disease characterized by multiple cerebral and spinal angiomas. The condition is caused by mutations in KRIT1 (CCM1), CCM2 (malcavernin), or

Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Mimicking Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy. [PDF]
A 67-year-old man was referred from ophthalmology for possible cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) discovered during work-up of possible optic neuropathy. MRI (figure 1) demonstrated innumerable periventricular, brainstem, and cortical cerebral microhemorrhages (CMH).

Cerebral Cavernous Malformation: A Portuguese Family with a Novel CCM1 Mutation [PDF]
Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular disorder characterized by the presence of central nervous system cavernomas. In familial forms, mutations in three genes (CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2/MGC4607 and CCM3/PDCD10) were identified.

Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: Pathophysiology, Genetics, Biomarkers, and Treatment Perspectives. [PDF]
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions in the brain caused by inherited genetic mutations in the CCM1/2/3 genes that disrupt normal blood vessel function. This work demonstrates that these mutations lead to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and iron accumulation, which can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ...

The Role of Immune Infiltration and Oxidative Stress in the Progression of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation. [PDF]
Mechanism of rupture hemorrhage in cerebral cavernous malformations. Environmental and immune factors promote the progression of lesions and induce the risk of abnormal formation or rupture of cerebrovascular vessels. Abstract Purpose of Review To review how the immune microenvironment and oxidative stress modulate the initiation, maturation, and ...

Asymptomatic Familial Multiple Cerebral Cavernous Malformation in a 73-Year-Old Woman
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are dilated blood vessels which can develop sporadically or in familial form and are the commonest malformations of blood vessels in the spinal cord and brain.
