Familial Form of Intracranial Cavernous Angioma:MR Imaging Findings in 51 Families
Radiology 214:209-216, Brunereau,L.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Multiple lesions were more common than single lesions in both symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects, with no difference in mean number of lesions between groups. More lesions were detected on GRE images than on SE images. Type 1 and type 2 lesions were more numerous in symptomatic than in asymptomatic subjects. The number of types 2, 3, and 4 lesions increased with age in both groups. The familial form of cavernous angioma is characterized by multiple lesions and by a correlation betwee n lesion number and subject age. The clinical manifestation may be more closely related to the type of lesion than to the number of lesions. GRE MR images are more sensitive than SE images for demonstration of cavernous angioma.
