What is cerebral cavernous malformation?
A cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a collection of small blood vessels (capillaries) in the central nervous system (CNS) that is enlarged and irregular in structure. In CCM, the walls of the capillaries are thinner than normal, less elastic, and prone to leaking.
