摘要
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are clusters of dilated sinusoidal channels, lined by a single layer of endothelium. Acquired form of these lesions was related to previous radiation-therapy, and might be related to its pathophysiology, because the vascular endothelial growth factor has higher expression in the immature brain of the child. Consequently, although it occurs mainly in the paediatric population, it can happen in adults. We report a case of radiation-induced CCM in an adult patient presenting with aggressive behaviour and cerebral haemorrhage.
