SPINAL CAVERNOMA
Spinal Cavernoma is a cluster of abnormal blood vessels found in the spinal cord. It can vary in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters and can cause mild to severe symptoms.

CAUSES OF SPINAL CAVERNOMA
Spinal Cavernoma can be caused by hereditary reasons and this is responsible for up to a quarter of the Spinal Cavernoma cases. There are three genes identified responsible for Spinal Cavernoma. Mutations in these genes can cause the condition, and people with these genes have a 50% chance of passing these to their children. Apart from that Spinal Cavernoma can also be sporadic. A Spinal Cavernoma develops when there is a change in the wall of blood vessels which results in blood leaking.
