  • Title: The growth of cerebral cavernous angiomas.
    Author: Pozzati E, Giuliani G, Nuzzo G, Poppi M.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1989 Jul; 25(1):92-7. PubMed ID: 2755587.
    Abstract:
    The natural history of cavernous angiomas is poorly understood, and their growth has rarely been documented. We report three cases of cavernous angiomas that grew to large size in 6 years, 2 years, and 2 months, respectively. An initial computed tomographic scan disclosed no abnormalities in one patient and demonstrated two "minimal" lesions in the other two. The mechanisms of growth of these lesions are discussed; subsequent hemorrhages and capsule formation played a major role in their enlargement.
