A rare type of brain blood vessel malformation known as a cavernous angioma affects more than one million Americans and carries a lifetime risk of stroke and seizures. Only around one-third of cases ...

A new study found that specific genetic mutations occurring in just the right locations in the brain are behind the formation of cavernous angiomas, which can bleed and cause strokes and seizures. A ...

Researchers found that the presence of abnormal bundles of brittle blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord, called cavernous angiomas (CA), are linked to the composition of a person's gut bacteria.

Cavernous malformations, also known as "cavernous angiomas," "cavernous hemangiomas" or just "cavernomas" are clusters of tightly packed abnormal blood vessels surrounded by normal brain tissue.

A careful search for segmentally related cutaneous hemangiomas in a series of 28 patients with spinal-cord arteriovenous malformations revealed six with such an association, a much higher prevalence ...
