A member asked:
Is there any way to treat, or reduce the size of a brain stem cavernoma with diet or supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately, no: Brain stem cavernomas can present with a variety of symptoms but may not need to removed unless they cause compression of the brain stem or have multiple bleeds. Surgical excision is the only known effective treatment of these lesions.
