What can I expect if I have a cerebral cavernous malformation?

If you have a cavernous hemangioma that has bled and causes symptoms, such as seizures, surgery to remove the lesion may be recommended. Surgery is most successful if it’s performed within two years of the first seizure.

If you have more than one cavernous hemangiomas or hemangiomas that have not bled or are not causing symptoms, your neurologist will discuss how often to have MRI scans to watch these lesions.
