Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Presenting With Epileptic Spasms in Children

These cases demonstrate that CCM may rarely present with epileptic spasms. Factors potentially predisposing to the development of epileptic spasms, rather than focal epilepsies include large lesion volume, lesion location within the precuneus, and the presence of a familial cavernoma syndrome.

Abstract

These cases demonstrate that CCM may rarely present with epileptic spasms. Factors potentially predisposing to the development of epileptic spasms, rather than focal epilepsies include large lesion volume, lesion location within the precuneus, and the presence of a familial cavernoma syndrome.
