ABSTRACT

Cavernous malformations are benign vascular tumors, with a raspberry-like morphology, commonly described as part of the group of the so called cryptic vascular malformations, which are rare neurological presentations. They are considered to be a controversial chapter in neuroscience due to the clinical-topographic variability of their presentation. Their management remains controversial. We present the cases of four patients with neuraxis cavernomas who are characterization from clinical and imaging standpoint, up to their final outcome. Early detection, understanding, and better management of the neuraxis cavernous malformations are the result of contemporary technological advances. The historical review on the subject shows the difference between the few cases that could be clinically diagnosed through conventional radiology and the largest number of lesions detected at autopsy or during surgery.
