Collage of cases depicting the four types of cerebral cavernous malformations, as classified by Zabramski in 1994, using T1 and T2 appearance 1

Case Discussion

The four cases used are:

  • type 1: Mostafa Mahmoud El Feky rID:42367

  • type 2: Frank Gaillard rID:29400

  • type 3: Frank Gaillard rID:13743

  • type 4: Frank Gaillard rID:46171 *

Note, the type 4 case has no T1 image, so it has been borrowed from another case, and the "gradient echo" image is actually an SWI image, which strictly speaking is not correct; SWI was not around in 1994 and was thus not included in the classification.
