Common symptoms include headaches or seizures. Experiencing symptoms depend on where the lesions grow and how many of the lesions are present. Most of the time, these for...
متن کاملCCM2 gene polymorphisms in Italian sporadic patients with cerebral cavernous malformation: a case-control study.
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions of the CNS characterized by abnormally enlarged capillary cavities that can occur sporadically or as a familial autosomal dominant condition with incomplete penetrance and variable clinical expression attributable to mutations in three different genes: CCM1 (Krit1), CCM2 (MGC4607) and CCM3 (PDCD10). Among our group of CCM Italian pati...
متن کاملCerebral Cavernous Malformation Panel
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are collections of small blood vessels (capillaries) in the brain that are enlarged and irregular in structure. These closely clustered irregular dilated capillaries have abnormally thin walls, and they lack other support tissues, such as elastic fibers, which normally make them stretchy. As a result, the blood vessels are prone to leakage, which can caus...
متن کاملGiant Cystic Cerebral Cavernous Malformation with Multiple Calcification - Case Report
Cerebral cavernous malformation with giant cysts is rare and literature descriptions of its clinical features are few. In this case study, the authors describe the clinical symptoms, radiological findings, and pathological diagnosis of cerebral cavernous malformations with giant cysts, reviewing the relevant literature to clearly differentiate this from other disease entities. The authors prese...
متن کاملHypertrophic olivary degeneration after resection of a pontine cavernous malformation: a case report.
We report the case of a 35 year old African American female who developed hypertrophic olivary degeneration secondary to resection of a pontine cavernous malformation. The patient initially complained of headaches and diplopia. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the brain revealed a left pontine cavernous malformation with scattered foci of recent and rem...
