Geraldo, Ana Filipa; Luis, Aysha; Alves, Cesar Augusto P. F.; Tortora, Domenico; Guimarães, Joana; Reimão, Sofia; Pavanello, Marco; de Marco, PatriziaPurpose: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and characteristics of spinal cord cavernous malformations (SCCM) and intraosseous spinal vascular malformations (ISVM) in a pediatric familial cerebral cavernous malformation (FCCM) cohort and evaluate clinico-radiological differences between children with (SCCM +) and without (SCCM-) SCCM.
