Summary
Stereotactically aimed small craniotomies have been performed in 14 cases of cavernous angiomas that were either deep seated or located in highly functional areas. The method has been without risk both quoad vitam and quoad valetudinem. Epilepsy was the main presenting symptom of the patients and was cured in 21.4% of the cases. Seizures were reduced in 57.1% of the patients and were unchanged in the remaining 21.4%.
