A member asked:
Is there anyway to treat, or reduce the size of a brain stem cavernoma with diet or supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Central cavernomas are serious, interesting phenomena. As you must know, if it's that deep, then surgical removal is probably not possible (or wise). But critical issues are the extent of arterial involvement (if any), and of larger than capillary involvement (if any). Your neurologist and neurosurgeon should be able to give you a solid assessment of this.
