Diagnostic criteria:
- Any new acute headache fulfilling criterion C
- Neuroimaging evidence of cavernous angioma
- Evidence exists of causation by the cavernous angioma
- Subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage and other causes of headache ruled out by appropriate investigations
Comment:
Cavernous angiomas are increasingly recognised on MRI. There is no good study devoted to headache associated with these malformations. Headache is commonly reported as a consequence of cerebral haemorrhage or of seizures due to cavernous angioma; and should be coded to these accordingly.
