Observational analysis shows radiosurgery may prevent complications in familial, symptomatic cerebral cavernomas, suggesting new management approaches.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is an effective and safe method that can help prevent the development of deep-seated or large-sized cavernomas. However, there are limited studies on familial, multiple and symptomatic cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM). The approach in these cases is not yet clear. This case is a CCM that can be confused with other brain masses and metastases, and contributes to the literature in terms of genetic transmission, management and treatment of cavernomas.
