A taxonomy for deep cerebral cavernous malformations: subtypes of basal ganglia lesions.

Objective: Anatomical taxonomy is a practical tool that has successfully guided clinical decision-making for patients with brain arteriovenous malformations and brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs). Deep CMs are similarly complex lesions that are difficult to access and highly variable in size, shape, and position. The authors propose a novel taxonomy for deep CMs in the basal ganglia based on clinical presentation (syndromes) and anatomical location.

Background: Hemichorea may point to a structural lesion in the contralateral basal ganglia with a large list of possible causes. Cavernous angioma may be rarely a possible cause for acute appearance of this movement disorder.
Case Description: We present a rare case of a 32-year-old female patient with hemichorea caused by a cavernoma (or cavernous angioma) in the contralateral insula and putamen with complete improvement of symptoms with surgical resection of the lesion.
Right hemichorea treated successfully by surgical removal of a left putaminal cavernous angioma.
