No it isn't - it's an abnormality of the blood vessels. Are you a member of Cavernoma Alliance UK (CAUK)? It's free to join - look it up. We have a secret Facebook page where you can ask as much as you like and the members will help. The Facebook page is only accessible if you join CAUK - they will add you to the page.
