Abstract

With the advent of high resolution imaging modalities, revealing many previously angiographically occult vascular malformations are now possible, enabling correct diagnosis and treatment. We treated 7 cases of cerebral cavernous hemangiomas associated with venous angiomas of patients who were admitted to Ewha Womans University Hospital from 1992 to 1994. Their mean age was 29 years(range 11 to 50 years), five patients(70%) had histories of seizures, four (57%) had focal neurologic deficit, three(43%) had headache and five(70%) had clinically significant intracerebral hemorrhage. Four patients underwent surgical procedures resulting in improvement of seizure and neurologic deficit conditions.
