“…Although a diagnosis of cerebral cavernous haemangiomas based on the clinical picture alone may be difficult to reach we want to stress that the clinical course is usually acute or subacute, and initial symptoms are commonly epileptic fits, acute headache and subarachnoid or intracerebral haemorrhage. In this material focal or general convulvions occurred twice as often (7,8,11,12,15,17,27,29,33,39,49,55,56,64,71,76,82) as headache (7,8,17,18,31,33,48,60,71,72) and intracranial haemorrhage (1,19,29,31,39,45,62,64,78) which were equal in incidence as the initial symptoms.…”

“…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 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). Lattermann (41) described a patient with Morgagnis syndrome due to a cavernoma of the hypothalamus, and Hechst (25) reported a midbrain syndrome in a patient with a cavernous haemangioma located in the dorsal part of the thalamus and in the quadrigeminal plate.…”

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.

Cavernous malformations of the brain stem

A retrospective analysis of 139 patients with brain stem cavernous malformations is presented. The material consists of 41 cases from Bern and Phoenix and 98 further well-documented cases from the literature. Sixty-eight patients were male, 70 were female. The average age was 31.8 + 11.8 years. Sixty-two percent of the cavernous malformations were in the pons, 14% were in the mesencephalon, 12% were in the pontomesencephalic and in the pontomedullary junction, and 5% were in the medulla. Eighty-eight percent of the patients showed evidence of recent or previous hemorrhage, 55% had one hemorrhage. 17% had two hemorrhages, and 17% had three or more hemorrhages. Twelve patients died from a hemorrhage, 5 with the first bleeding and 7 with a rebleeding. The minimum bleeding rate was 2.7% per year and the average rebleeding rate 21% per year and per lesion. Most lesions had a diameter between 10 and 30 mm. Increase in size was observed in 12 of the patients; this corresponds to about 21% when only patients with a follow-up of at least one year are considered. In 93 patients the cavernous malformation was removed operatively while in 30 patients the lesion was not removed. In the group with conservative management at the end of the observation period (up to 25 and 32 years), 66.6% had no or only a slight neurological deficit, 6.7% were moderately disabled, 6.7% were completely dependent, and 20% had died. In the group treated surgically 83.9% had no or only a slight neurological deficit, and 15% were moderately disabled. One patient remained severely disabled, no patient died. The limitations of the retrospective nature of this study are stressed.
