Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are intracranial vascular malformations that can exist as a single lesion or mixed vascular lesions. The most common mixed form is the coexistence of CCM with an associated developmental venous anomaly (DVA). In this paper, we aim to give a comprehensive review of CCM, DVA, and their coexistence as mixed lesions. A PubMed search using the keywords "Cerebral cavernous malformations, Developmental venous anomaly, Mixed Cerebral cavernous malformations with Developmental venous anomaly" was done. All studies in the English language in the past 10 years were analyzed descriptively for this review.
