Familial cavernous angiomas masquerading as multiple sclerosis.

C F Dougan1, A Coulthard, N E Cartlidge, D J Burn.   

Abstract

We report here two cases of cavernous angioma, in the proband and her father, with quite different clinical presentations. The proband presented with a brainstem syndrome, mimicking multiple sclerosis, while the father had a history of mild epilepsy. Both patients were managed conservatively. The cases also demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of cavernous angioma.
