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 ...

Obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to an anterior mesencephalic cavernous malformation with familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome: A case report. [PDF]
Cerebral Cavernous malformations (CCM) are the second most common vascular malformation of the central nervous system accounting (CNS) for 5%-10% of vascular malformations in the CNS with a prevalence of 0.5%. Most CCM are supratentorial with fewer than 20% located in the brainstem, mostly in the pons but very rarely in the anterior mesencephalon.

Susceptibility-weighted imaging in familial cerebral cavernous malformations [PDF]
A 59-year-old man with a family history of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) presented with focal seizures. T2*-weighted gradient echo (GRE) images showed multiple lesions consistent with cavernous malformations (figure 1). Susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) detected nearly triple the number of lesions than were seen with the GRE sequence ...

Discovery of familial cerebral cavernous malformation in a Saudi population. [PDF]
Familial cerebral cavernous malformation is a rare entity. It has been described commonly among the Hispanic population and sparsely among the Italian, French, Swedish and Chinese populations. We discovered two families with this condition among the Saudi population for the first time.

Exceptional aggressiveness of cerebral cavernous malformation disease associated with PDCD10 mutations [PDF]
PurposeThe phenotypic manifestations of cerebral cavernous malformation disease caused by rare PDCD10 mutations have not been systematically examined, and a mechanistic link to Rho kinase-mediated hyperpermeability, a potential therapeutic target, has ...

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy accompanied by cerebral cavernous malformation: A case report
Cerebral Proliferative Angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular malformation that is distinguished from classical brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in its imaging findings and clinical progression but more importantly in its pathophysiology.

Familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome in Serbian family [PDF]
Cavernomas are benign vascular malformations, and about 50% of all cases are multiple. The hereditary form of brain cavernomas is uncommon, and it is certainly under diagnosed. Another entity is familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome.

Next-Generation Sequencing Advances the Genetic Diagnosis of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM)
Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) is a cerebrovascular disease of genetic origin that predisposes to seizures, focal neurological deficits and fatal intracerebral hemorrhage. It may occur sporadically or in familial forms, segregating as an autosomal
