Cavernous Malformation From Cranial Nerves: A Systematic Review With a Novel Classification and Patient-Level Analysis

We reviewed all the published CN CMs to date, offering a comprehensive description of CN CMs for the first time and identifying prognostic factors. The classification of CN CMs proposed in this study could serve as guidance for the selection of intraoperative treatment regimens. The findings of this systematic review are expected to provide a foundation for clinical decision-making in this crucial rare disease and lay the groundwork for developing relevant clinical guidelines.
