Cerebral cavernous malformation is rare. It can occur sporadically or as a familial autosomal dominant disorder (FCCM). It is characterized by the presence of multiple cavernous malformations of the central nervous system. It is often asymptomatic and can be revealed by several symptoms including cerebro-meningeal hemorrhage, headaches or epilepsy. We report the case of a 55-year old patient, with no particular past medical history, with sporadic cerebral cavernous malformation revealed by seizure. Through this case study and literature review, we aim to highlight the clinical and radiological features (scanner and MRI) of this disease.
脑海绵状血管畸形较为罕见。它可散发出现,也可作为一种家族性常染色体显性疾病(家族性脑海绵状血管畸形)发生。其特征为中枢神经系统存在多个海绵状血管畸形。它通常无症状,可由多种症状揭示,包括脑-脑膜出血、头痛或癫痫。我们报告一例55岁患者,无特殊既往病史,因癫痫发作发现散发型脑海绵状血管畸形。通过本病例研究及文献回顾,我们旨在突出该疾病的临床和放射学特征(CT和MRI)。
