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.
A cavernous malformation or also called cavernous angioma or cavernous hemangioma or cavernoma is a malformation in the capillaries, and when located in the brain or spine (nervous system) may bleed and in turn can cause neurological deficits. The shape of this malformation resembles that of a raspberry/ These neurological deficits may be headaches, dizziness, double vision, memory issues etc. This is also dependent on the location of the malformation as well as the size of the lesion and size of the bleed. Many people that have a cavernous malformation will never know they have them because they remain asymptomatic. There are people that have one cavernous malformation in what is called the sporadic form of the disease, while others have multiple cavernous malformations due to a genetic mutation in one of tree genes (ccm1, ccm2, and ccm3).
No, but chiari malformation can cause hydrocephalus. In chiari malformation, the hindbrain sits low. This can constrict the normal passageways for CSF (cerebral spinal fluid). If the CSF can't flow properly, it builds up. This is known as hydrocephalus.
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.

An estimated 5-14% of all strokes are caused by cerebral emboli
Cerebral Hemorrhage
Rupture of one of the cerebral arteries.
Cerebral Edema.
Yes. But not in all cases. I myself have Chiari Malformation Type I and my mom and grandma have it, but the gene skipped my older brother who does not have this malformation.
Alfred Nobel died from a cerebral haemorrhage on December 10th, 1896. A cerebral haemorrhage is bleeding in the brain.
