title: [Intracranial cavernous angiomas: ultrastructural and immunochemical study].
abstract: 43 brain cavernous angiomas (CA) were clinically and morphologically studied. The presence of smooth muscles and endotheliocytes in the trabeculae was confirmed. The sources of blood supply and the nature of medullary changes at the CA periphery were clarified. The hypothesis of CA hormonal dependence has been rejected.
