BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pregnancy as a hemorrhage risk factor in women with cavernous malformations (CMs) is controversial. We describe prospective hemorrhage risk in women who become pregnant after an established CM diagnosis. METHODS: value of <0.05. RESULTS: =0.09). No hemorrhage occurred during delivery. CONCLUSIONS: Our prospective data suggest that pregnancy does not increase the risk of hemorrhage in women with a known brain or spinal cord CM and that vaginal delivery is safe in appropriate candidates.
