Brief description/objective

Literature regarding the safety and efficacy of antithrombotic (antiplatelet or anticoagulant) therapy and statins in patients with cavernous malformations (CMs) of the central nervous system is sparse, resulting in uncertainty about its use in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of antithrombotic therapy and statins on the risk of hemorrhage and focal neurological deficit in patients with CMs.
