There is no need to panic
Cavernomas are non cancerous lesions and grow very slowly. Surgery is done only in case they bleed. Since the size of your cavernomas is small only serial follow up is enough
Next Steps
avoid stress and regular yearly follow up with a neurosurgeon
Health Tips
in case of severe headache, vomitting, any problems in limbs and vision, visit your doctor asap
