BACKGROUND: Cavernous angiomas (CAs) affect 0.5% of the population, predisposing to serious neurologic sequelae from brain bleeding. A leaky gut epithelium associated with a permissive gut microbiome, was identified in patients who develop CAs, favoring lipid polysaccharide producing bacterial species. Micro-ribonucleic acids along with plasma levels of proteins reflecting angiogenesis and inflammation were also previously correlated with CA and CA with symptomatic hemorrhage. METHODS: The plasma metabolome of CA patients and CA patients with symptomatic hemorrhage was assessed using liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry...
