It is the third most common cerebral vascular malformation, histologically characterized by ectatic, fibrous, blood filled "caverns" with thin-walled vasculature without intervening normal brain parenchyma.

Case Description: Herein, we present a case of an original, spontaneous hemorrhage from a sporadic form of CCM without associated gross developmental venous anomaly in an 11-year-old child, which is an extremely rare occurrence, with the special emphasis on the demographic data of the affected population, risk factors associated with hemorrhage, and correlation of histopathological and radiological findings with an in-depth literature review.
