How Likely Is It That A Cavernoma Lesion Will Bleed Again And What Are The Chances Of Regaining Normal Sensation In Arm?

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with a brain lesion (cavernoma). The symptoms I have experienced are numbness in my right arm and shoulder area. My question is: How likely is it that the lesion will bleed again once it has already bled. Also, what are the chances that I will regain normal sensation in my arm? Thanks for your help Slava Fisher

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM

If you haven't had any bleeding before, it's estimated you have a less than 1% chance of experiencing a haemorrhage each year.

If your cavernoma has bled previously, your risk of
having another haemorrhage is somewhere between 4% and 25% each year.

However, this risk decreases progressively over time if you don't experience any further bleeds, and eventually returns to the same level as that of people who haven't had any bleeding before

Cavernoma walls are weak it cause rebleed and reobsorbed causes slowly increasing size.
.
So there is a chance of rebleed 4-25%.so chances of deterioration of symptoms.

Please consult your doctor if symptoms deteriorating and new symptoms developed he will guide you in right way.
