Cerebral cavernous malformations are usually diagnosed by computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan or, more accurately, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan with gradient echo sequencing.
Most familial cerebral cavernous malformations are present at birth (congenital). They are thought to arise between three and eight weeks of gestation, although the exact mechanism of CCM formation is not understood.
Symptoms include seizures , dizziness , stroke, vomiting, uncontrollable hiccups, periodic weakness, irritability and/or changes in personality, headaches , difficulty speaking, vision problems or, rarely, brain hemorrhage.
Vascular malformations can potentially occur many years after radiation therapy to the brain. Additionally, it is also assumed that severe or repeated head trauma can cause cerebral capillaries to bleed.
A characteristic feature of a CCM is slow bleeding, or oozing, as opposed to the dangerous sudden rupture of an aneurysm (a weak, bulging area of a blood vessel).

Cerebral palsy is caused by brain damage or brain malformations. Occasionally genetic abnormalities cause the brain to develop abnormally, but most cases of brain malformation are due to other factors. Exposure to toxins can interfere with the proper development of the unborn baby's brain.
Yes, some people with cerebral palsy do experience pain. There are treatment options available to lessen the pain.
There are a number of treatments available for Cerebral Palsy. Some of the treatment methods available include: aqua therapy, behavioral therapy and chiropractic intervention.
Once the individual is stabilized, cerebral angiography is done to locate the damaged blood vessel.
Ceregem is beneficial for children suffering from cerebral palsy since it is used in its treatment.
