Abstract

In past, cavernoma was frequently cause of symptomatic epilepsy without pathological supstrat. We present the group of the patient (32) who illness were presented by epilepsy, and who were treated in Institut for Neurosurgery from 1998 to 2003. There is the good correlation between presentation of epilepsy and largness of the cavernoma (Phi 0.683). In 22 patinets the epilepsy was controlated by medicaments, and in other the seayurs were uncontrolled. Cavernoma initially presented with seayures had no inclination for massive intralesional or parenhimal bleeding. After surgical extirpation of leasion, there was good outcome during the following period of 3 years
