Cavernous angiomas are estimated to occur in approximately 0.5-1% of the population, or in 1 in 100-200 people.
The cavernous angioma is part of a spectrum of lesions known as "angiographically occult vascular malformations" related to the fact that they are not visible on an angiogram.
Cavernous angiomas in the spine are removed using laminectomy or unroofing of the vertebrae.

The most common procedures used are (1) electrosurgery - a minor surgical procedure during where a special electrical needle-like instrument is used to remove the angioma, (2) cryotherapy - freezing the affected area with liquid nitrogen, and (3) laser vaporization - using an intense beam of light to remove the angioma.

Cavernous angioma, also known as cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), cavernous haemangioma, and cavernoma, is a vascular disorder of the central nervous system that may appear either sporadically or exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance.
The incidence in the general population is between 0.1–0.5%, and clinical symptoms typically appear between 30 to 50 years of age.
In up to 30% there is a coincidence of CCM with a venous angioma, also known as a developmental venous anomaly (DVA).
