Magnetic resonance susceptibility weighted imaging in neurosurgery: current applications and future perspectives.

abstract：:OBJECTIVECerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are frequently diagnosed vascular malformations of the brain. Although most CCMs are asymptomatic, some can be responsible for intracerebral hemorrhage or seizures. In selected cases, microsurgical resection is the preferred treatment option.
