“…1 CCM have slow circulatory blood flow, making them angiographically occult. The incidence of CCM is 0.1%–0.8% 24 , and individual CCM have reported symptomatic bleeding rates of approximately 1%/year, or 0.25%–3.1%/person/year of exposure 57 , presenting with headache, seizures, and/or focal neurological deficits. Seizures result from surrounding hemosiderin deposits, cerebral gliosis, and cortical irritation.…”

“…16 Furthermore, many authors have reported that in patients with intractable seizures, removal of the pericavernomatous gliosis significantly improved epilepsy control. 1,15,17,25 This could be explained by the fact that, beyond the CA itself, the hemosiderin rim may elicit seizures due to leakage of red blood cells into the surrounding brain. 6 Nonetheless, despite this increased amount of evidence supporting surgery, a neurosurgeon may be reluctant to perform maximal resection when CAs are located in critical areas such as the insula, especially in the left dominant hemisphere.…”

“…2,7,9 Indeed, as mentioned, resection of the surrounding hemosiderin deposit in addition to complete removal of CA was demonstrated to yield a statistically significantly better outcome in terms of seizure control. 1,15,17,25 Interestingly, Ferroli et al 14 reported that in patients who failed to attain epilepsy relief after a first surgery for CA with a sole lesionectomy, the pericavernomatous gliosis should be removed during a second surgery. On the other hand, these authors insisted that such a resection of the surrounding gliosis is more invasive.…”

“…За даними дослідників, локалізація каверноми у скроневій частці асоціюється з негативним прогнозом і високою ймовірністю формування фармакорезистентної епілеп-сії [12]. Тривають дискусії щодо строків виконання та обсягу хірургічного втручання у хворих за наявності каверноми ГМ [13]. У більшості публікацій наголошуєть-ся, що резекція не лише каверноми, а й навколишньої речовини ГМ, що містить гемосидерин, забезпечує ефективний контроль за нападами [14][15][16][17].…”
