Abstract: The authors have reviewed the clinical records of 110 patients with intracranial cavernous malformations diagnosed by histological examination and/or magnetic resonance imaging over a mean follow-up period of 4.71 years. These cases were divided, based on their presentation, into a hemorrhage group, a seizure group, and an incidentally diagnosed group.
