Cavern lesion in brain-stem diagnosis and treatment

C
avern lesions are formed by sinusoidal vascular spaces with
no cerebral parenchyma between them are a common
cause of spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage. Seizures are
the most usual clinical presentation, magnetic resonance
demonstrates characteristic findings of multiple hemorrhages
of varying ages surrounded by a hypointense peripheral zone
of hemosiderin, the majority are located in the supratentorial
region. Surgical exploration should be considered for vascular
brainstem malformations, when the diagnosis is confirmed by
magnetic resonance criteria and the clinical course and lesion
are both progressive in character.
