Abstract:
:The authors have reviewed the clinical records of 110 patients with intracranial cavernous malformations diagnosed by histological examination and/or magnetic resonance imaging over a mean follow-up period of 4.71 years. These cases were divided, based on their presentation, into a hemorrhage group, a seizure group, and an incidentally diagnosed group. The rate of subsequent symptomatic bleeding was investigated in relation to age at onset, sex, and location of the initial lesion. A high rate of subsequent symptomatic bleeding episodes was found in the hemorrhage group, especially among younger females. The nonhemorrhagic-onset cases had a very low incidence of bleeding. The outcome was generally good, except in patients with lesions in the basal ganglia and brainstem. These findings will be helpful in planning a rational therapeutic strategy for intracranial cavernous malformations.
