Cerebral cavernous malformations are collections of small blood vessels (capillaries) in the brain that are enlarged and irregular in structure. These capillaries have abnormally thin walls, and they lack other support tissues, such as elastic fibers, which normally make them stretchy. As a result, the blood vessels are prone to leakage, which can cause the health problems related to this condition. Cavernous malformations can occur anywhere in the body, but usually produce serious signs and symptoms only when they occur in the brain and spinal cord (which are described as cerebral).
Approximately 25 percent of individuals with cerebral cavernous malformations never experience any related health problems. Other people with this condition may experience serious signs and symptoms such as headaches, seizures, paralysis, hearing or vision loss, and bleeding in the brain (cerebral hemorrhage). Severe brain hemorrhages can result in death. The location and number of cerebral cavernous malformations determine the severity of this disorder. These malformations can change in size and number over time.
There are two forms of the condition: familial and sporadic. The familial form is passed from parent to child, and affected individuals typically have multiple cerebral cavernous malformations. The sporadic form occurs in people with no family history of the disorder. These individuals typically have only one malformation.
MalaCards based summary : Cerebral Cavernous Malformations, also known as cerebral cavernous malformation, is related to cerebral cavernous malformation, familial and cerebral cavernous malformations 3. An important gene associated with Cerebral Cavernous Malformations is KRIT1 (KRIT1 Ankyrin Repeat Containing), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Focal Adhesion and MAPK signaling pathway. The drugs Atorvastatin and Propranolol have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, endothelial and spinal cord, and related phenotypes are headache and cerebral hemorrhage Disease Ontology : 12 A cerebrovascular disease that is characterized by dilated blood-filled capillaries lacking structural support. NIH Rare Diseases : 52 Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are collections of small blood vessels (capillaries) in the brain that are enlarged and irregular in structure which lead to altered blood flow. Cavernous malformations can occur anywhere in the body, but usually produce serious signs and symptoms only when they occur in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Cavernous malformations in the brain and/or spinal cord are called cerebral cavernous malformations. Approximately 25 percent of individuals with cerebral cavernous malformations never experience any related medical problems. Other people with cerebral cavernous malformations may experience serious symptoms such as headaches, seizures , paralysis, hearing or vision deficiencies, and bleeding in the brain (cerebral hemorrhage). These malformations can change in size and number over time, but they do not become cancerous. This condition can be sporadic or it can be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Mutations in the KRIT1 (CCM1), CCM2 , and PDCD10 (CCM3) genes cause cerebral cavernous malformation. Treatment depends upon the symptoms. Seizures are usually treated with antiepileptic medications or surgery. OMIM : 56 Cerebral cavernous angiomas are relatively rare vascular malformations that may involve any part of the central nervous system. Cerebral cavernous angiomas are to be distinguished from cerebral arteriovenous malformations (106070, 108010). CCMs are venous and not demonstrable by arteriography; hence they are referred to as angiographically silent. Capillary hemangiomas (602089) are classified as distinct from vascular malformations in that hemangiomas are benign, highly proliferative lesions involving aberrant localized growth of capillary endothelium. Hemangiomas develop shortly after birth. In contrast, vascular malformations are present from birth, tend to grow with the individual, do not regress, and show normal rates of endothelial cell turnover (Mulliken and Young, 1988). (116860) NINDS : 53 Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions comprised of clusters of tightly packed, abnormally thin-walled small blood vessels (capillaries) that displace normal neurological tissue in the brain or spinal cord. The vessels are filled with slow-moving or stagnant blood that is usually clotted or in a state of decomposition. Cavernous malformations can occur in the brain, spinal cord, and some other body regions. In the brain and spinal cord these cavernous lesions are quite fragile and are prone to bleeding, causing hemorrhagic strokes (bleeding into the brain), seizures, and neurological deficits. CCMs can range in size from a few fractions of an inch to several inches in diameter, depending on the number of blood vessels involved. Some people develop multiple lesions while others never experience related medical problems. Hereditary forms of CCM are caused by mutations in one of three CCM disease genes: CCM1, CCM2, and CCM3. A large population with hereditary CCM disease is found in New Mexico and the Southwestern United States, in which the disease is caused by mutations in the gene CCM1 (or KRIT1). KEGG : 36 Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are vascular malformations of the central nervous system comprising enlarged caverns with a single layer of endothelium, which easily lead to cerebral hemorrhages. The disease present as either sporadic or autosomal dominant conditions and is linked to three genes KRIT1, MGC4607, and PDCD10. Mutations in KRIT1 impair its interaction with ICAP-1 alpha, and influence beta 1 integrin-dependent angiogenesis. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Cerebral cavernous malformations 1: A congenital vascular anomaly of the central nervous system that can result in hemorrhagic stroke, seizures, recurrent headaches, and focal neurologic deficits. The lesions are characterized by grossly enlarged blood vessels consisting of a single layer of endothelium and without any intervening neural tissue, ranging in diameter from a few millimeters to several centimeters.
