Towards a neurocognitive profile in familial cerebral cavernous malformations
Abstract Background Familial cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCM) is a rare autosomal dominant disease, characterized by vascular malformations that can lead to macro and microhemorrhages. The neurocognitive impact of FCCM is still underrecognized.

A Case Report and Overview of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Pathogenesis in an Adult Patient [PDF]
OBJECTIVE We present a case of a 39 year-old woman who presented with a solitary cavernous malformation hemorrhage without any other lesions, and subsequently presented several months later with a new hemorrhage from a de novo lesion.

High Prevalence of Spinal Cord Cavernous Malformations in the Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Type 1 Cohort [PDF]
Cavernous malformations occur most often in the brain but can occur in the spinal cord. Small studies of patients with familial cerebral cavernous malformations suggested a prevalence of spinal cord cavernous malformations of 20%-42%. We aimed to review our familial cohort and prospectively estimate the prevalence of spinal cord cavernous malformations.

A Novel CCM2 Gene Mutation Associated With Cerebral Cavernous Malformation
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are the second most prevalent type of vascular malformation within the central nervous system. CCMs occur in two forms—sporadic and familial—the latter of which has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with ...

Genetically diagnosed Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome and familial cerebral cavernous malformations in the same individual: a case report. [PDF]
When faced with an unusual clinical feature in a patient with a Mendelian disorder, the clinician may entertain the possibilities of either the feature representing a novel manifestation of that disorder or the co-existence of a different inherited ...

A Novel CCM2 Missense Variant Caused Cerebral Cavernous Malformations in a Chinese Family
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular malformations in the central nervous system. Familial CCMs (FCCMs) are autosomal dominant inherited disease with incomplete penetrance and variable symptoms.
