Brief description/objective
Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) are relatively uncommon, low-flow vascular lesions in children. Given the paucity of data, guidelines regarding the clinical management of BSCMs in children are lacking and the surgical indication is most commonly based on an individual surgeon's judgment and experience. The goal in this study was to evaluate the clinical behavior of BSCMs in childhood and the long-term outcome in children managed conservatively and surgically.
