Approximately 20 million individuals worldwide have CCM, yet the majority of people are unaware that they have it. |
|
|
|
|
|
CCM can be hereditary – a person with familial CCM has one gene mutation and has a 50% chance of passing that mutation to each child. |
|
|
|
|
|
Symptoms such as mild headaches,
occasional dizziness, and periodic weakness are usually misdiagnosed. |
|
|
|
|
|
The first clinical sign of the disease can be a stroke or death. |
|
|
|
|
|
Other than doing nothing, the only treatment option is brain surgery.
