“…Therefore, there is a high probability that a cerebral cavernous haemangioma will appear as a solitary vascular lesion. We do not agree with the authors who regard these lesions as extremely rare (8,32,33,60).…”

“…Reviewing the literature and adding our new case we found a total of 164 cerebral cavernous haemangiomas. In 126 cases (76.8 %) the cavernomas were of supratentorial site (1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,15,17,19,22,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,37,41,42,43,46,47,49,51,52,55,56,58,60,62,64,65,67,68,69,71,74,75,76,77,78,79,82,83,…”

“…In some cases the cavernoma will be detected only by chance at autopsy (34,49). In other cases the clinical course is that of focal or general seizures (8,27,49) or migraine headaches (8, 31, 60) over a long period. On the other hand acute intracranial bleeding from a cavernous haemangioma with compression of cerebral structures and herniation may lead to sudden death (1,45,62) or to hemisyndromes with and without aphasia (8,36,55) and visual disturbances (33,60,72).…”

Reviewing the literature and adding one unusual case the features of 164 cerebral cavernous haemangiomas are described with special reference to incidence, localization, diagnosis and clinical findings. Cavernomas may be found in every age group including the neonatal period. The sex incidence is equal. In 126 cases (76.8%) the cavernomas were of supratentorial, in 34 cases (20.7%) of infratentorial site, and in 4 more cases (2.5%) there was multiple occurence of supratentorial and posterior fossa cavernous haemangiomas. A specific clinical syndrome could not be defined: but the course is usually acute or subacute, and initial symptoms are commonly epileptic fits, acute headache and subarachnoid or intracerebral haemorrhage. Macroscopic calcifications of cerebral cavernomas were found only in 18 cases (11%). Cerebral angiography was done in 31 cases (18.9%). In 9 cases angiography was totally normal, and in 11 cases the cavernoma presented only as an avascular mass. In the remaining cases there was no conformity in the angiographic appearance of cerebral cavernous haemangiomas. Operative extirpation is the treatment of choice if a solitary lesion is favourably located. In addition to our patient there are now 21 cases (12.8%) in which cavernomas were treated successfully by operative extirpation.

“…Spontaneous and complete regression of an AVM is a well recognized, but rare phenomenon, with an estimated prevalence of 0.8 to 1.3 % [2,50]. Several causes of spontaneous regression have been postulated, such as premature atherosclerosis [8], embolus [30], turbulence in feeding vessels [15], elevated estrogens [57], hemodynamic changes associated with surgery [38] and mass effect due to haemorrhage from the AVM [43].…”
