The treatment of cerebral cavernous angioma\r\n(CCA) has caused great controversy. In the case of\r\nrecurrent haemorrhage, frequent epileptic attacks, clear\r\ndysneuria, etc., and by taking into consideration focal\r\npositions, number of foci, and conditions conducive to\r\noperations, it is our opinion that excisionofCCAfoci is\r\nthefirstchoicetocurethedisease.Controversyregarding\r\nthegammaknifetreatmentofCCAhasexistedforalong\r\ntime. The main reason behind this is that analyses and\r\nappraisals of its therapeutic effect are at variance, for\r\nexample in terms of incidence rate of recurrent\r\nhaemorrhage, control over epilepsy, comparison of\r\ndysneuria before and after treatment, incidence of\r\nhydrocephalus and cerebral necrosis, focal volume,\r\npathologicalchangesoffociafterthetreatment,etc.
