• Definition: Cavernous Hemangioma (aka Cavernous Angioma, or Cavernoma)

      Cerebral Cavernous Malformation - Cavernous hemangioma, also called cavernous angioma, or cavernoma (often when referring to presence in the brain), is a type of blood vessel malformation or hemangioma, where a collection of dilated blood vessels form a tumor. Because of this malformation, blood flow through the cavities, or caverns, is slow. Additionally, the cells that form the vessels do not form the necessary junctions with surrounding cells and the structural support from the smooth muscle is hindered causing leakage into the surrounding tissue. It is the leakage of blood, known as a hemorrhage from these vessels that causes a variety of symptoms known to be associated with this disease. A longer definition comes from Wikipedia.
