Cavernous angiomas are angiographically occult vascular malformations that are present in 0.4-0.9% of people, and represent around 5% of all cerebrovascular malformations. They can be single or multiple, and sporadic or familial. The presence of multiple lesions is more frequent in familial cavernomatosis. Ten to 30% are associated with familial clustering.
