Sumario:Cerebral cavernous malformation is rare. It can occur sporadically or as a familial autosomal dominant disorder (FCCM). It is characterized by the presence of multiple cavernous malformations of the central nervous system. It is often asymptomatic and can be revealed by several symptoms including cerebro-meningeal hemorrhage, headaches or epilepsy. We report the case of a 55-year old patient, with no particular past medical history, with sporadic cerebral cavernous malformation revealed by seizure. Through this case study and literature review, we aim to highlight the clinical and radiological features (scanner and MRI) of this disease.
