With the increasing use of radiological imaging, these are being detected incidentally in asymptomatic aircrew. The UK Civil\n Aviation Authority (CAA) experience of cavernomas is described and the aeromedical concerns, that is, the risk of epilepsy, hemorrhage, and the development of a neurological deficit, are considered.<jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> A search of the CAA database between 1990 and 2020 was performed for the\n term cavernoma. The gender, age at diagnosis, class of certification held, clinical presentation, location, and size of the lesion were noted. A PubMed literature review for papers with complications of cavernoma was performed.<jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> Six cases of cavernoma have been declared to\n the CAA: five professional pilots and one private pilot. Five were men and one was a woman. The age range was between 38 and 60 yr, with a mean of 48 yr. Two cases presented with clinical symptoms and four were asymptomatic. Complication rates for seizure and hemorrhage were extracted from\n the published literature together with the significance of other factors such as cavernoma size, family history, multiplicity, and the development of new lesions.<jats:bold>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:bold> A policy for the medical certification of aircrew with cavernomas that have presented with clinical symptoms\n and those that are detected incidentally is proposed.<jats:bold>Jagathesan T, OBrien M. <jats:italic>Aeromedical implications of cerebral cavernomas<\/jats:italic>.
