I am so glad that others have ahd the same experiences. I saw two
neurosurgeons re: surgery due to a small bleed and symptoms. I had a
venous angioma (it was not diagnosed as a cavernous angioma). I had one
day where I lost all sensation in one leg during a meeting at work. The
bleed was slight but I had trouble communicating for a few days, and I
feel down a flight of stairs. It has been almost ten years since then
with no bleeds (mine is inoperable due to its location, and the angioma
has not changed. I deal with the symptoms by trying to decrease stress
and resting. My doctors recommended an MRI at least every two years
(every year if possible). It is important to follow.
