There are innumerable cavernous malformations involving both cerebral hemispheres, both cerebellar hemispheres, and the brainstem. The largest measures up to 2.3 cm in the medial left temporal lobe. Correlation for the possibility of familial multiple cavernous malformation syndrome is recommended.
Case Discussion
No other cause of numerous microhemorrhages is evident, and in this age group familial multiple cavernous malformation syndrome is most likely although no correlative family history or genetic results are available. MRI remains the gold standard modality of imaging.
