Great outlook and I hope you are well🙏❤️. I’m 46 and had 3 strokes since April 2023 and the hospital have just confirmed I have a cavertoma. My white matter is very bad and the said it’s like the age of an 80 year old lady not 46? Kina hoping you could give me any tips or information. Thanks and hope your calmness and views keep you stronger x

Hi @sarahvincent, welcome. A cavernoma is a cluster of abnormal blood vessels, usually found in the brain and spinal cord. They're sometimes known as cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs).

Has any treatment been suggested to help avoid future strokes?
