Spontaneous thrombosis of intracavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm and parent artery occlusion in patients with positive balloon test occlusion--two case reports.

abstract：:Cavernous angiomas (CAs) and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) sometimes show growth or de novo appearance. Proliferative capacity of the endothelium is evident in such malformations. Intermediate filament nestin is a newly identified marker for proliferative endothelium, which was originally detected in the neuroepi...
