Purpose: Familial cerebral cavernous malformation syndrome (FCCM) is characterized by multiple hemorrhagic lesions and is sometimes mistaken for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

Methods: We compared clinical and radiologic characteristics in patients with definite (N = 32) and presumed FCCM (n = 76) to patients with definite (N = 29) and probable CAA (N = 21).

Results: Patients with CAA were older (78.

Background: Liver hemangiomas (HGs) are characterized by cavernous venous spaces delineated by a lining of vascular endothelial cells and interspersed with connective tissue septa. Typically, a liver HG has higher apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T2 values than those of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and liver metastases, and lower ADC and T2 values than those of liver simple cysts. However, a portion of HGs shows ADC and T2 overlapping with those of HCC, liver metastasis, and simple cyst.
