The most frequent clinical presentations were haemorrhage (36 cases) and epilepsy (33 cases). Among the 68 subjects operated upon, 55 benefited from total removal of the angioma. The mortality rate was 10%. The long-term outcome was favourable in 75% of patients. Excision suppressed the risk of bleeding, but its efficacy on epilepsy was more limited. The clinical course in patients not operated upon was less favourable. However, only 4 of them died, and only one recurrence of bleeding was noted.
