Definition and Etiology

Cavernous angiomas (also called cavernomas) are vascular malformations formed by an agglomerate of low-flow vessels, very similar in shape to blackberries.

Their prevalence in the population is low (about 0.5%).

There is no clear etiology. It is likely that they are congenital malformations and are often associated with multiple angiomatosis.

They can be located in the brain or in the spinal cord.
