FACTS

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% change of passing that mutation on to each child. People with this form also tend to have multiple lesions.
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.
