Abstract
Evaluation for intracranial lesions in a patient with retinal cavernous hemangiomas is vital for early recognition of this heritable and potentially life-threatening disease. We report a case of a highly penetrant but variably expressed form of cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome with cerebral, cutaneous, and retinal cavernomas in a family found to harbor a nonsense mutation of the CCM1 gene.
