As a result of our findings we think it is important to critically look at the indications for surgical removal of cavernomas and special attention must be paid to informed consent of the patient. The frequent appearance of temporal cavernomas and their propensity to epileptic seizures is an essential aspect, which certainly influences the therapeutic decision. Although cavernomas are a venous malformation in the low blood pressure system, the determined frequency of hemorrhage was 5.9%, which was higher than expected but which is confirmed by other studies. Reports on severe sequelae of cavernoma bleeding are also rare in the literature, which relativizes the resulting danger of the relatively high probability of hemorrhage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
