Cavernous angioma historical perspective
Associate Editor-in-Chief: Edzel Lorraine Co, DMD, MD
Overview
Cavernous angioma, also known as cavernous hemangioma, cavernoma, and cerebral cavernous malformation, is a vascular malformation with still an unclear history of its first clinical discovery.
Historical Perspective
- Recognition of the first discovery of cerebrovascular angioma is still unknown. [1]
- Virchow was the first person to classify cerebrovascular malformations. Subsequent studies regarding the classification of this pathology were conducted mostly in Germany.[1]
- The advent of cerebral angiography paved the way for a better understanding of the context of "cryptic" or occult vascular malformations. [1]
- McCormick clarified the current pathological features of cavernous angiomas, which are now being correlated with MRI findings. [1]
