Abstract:
We describe Natural history, clinical and surgical management of cavernous malformation of the brain and spinal cord. Decision-making for treatment of cavernous malformations cannot ignore their natural history and risk of bleeding, which is different depending on the location. Surgical morbidity also depends on the position of the lesion. We performed a review of hemorrhage risk and clinical assessment of superficial and deep supratentorial, brainstem and intramedullary cavernous malformations.
