Abstract

Cavernomas are vascular malformations that are rare in the population and usually present with incidental findings. Treatment of these malformations is performed with conservative treatment, stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma-Knife) or craniotomy. Nurses take an active role in the conservative treatment, follow-up and symptom management of patients with cavernomas, and in the preoperative preparation, intraoperative follow-up and postoperative care of patients undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery and craniotomy, and assume responsibility for informing, counseling, care and symptom management. However, there are limited number of studies in the literature on nursing care after cavernoma surgery. The aim of this review is to present evidence-based approaches and nursing care that can guide nurses caring for patients with cavernoma in line with the current literature.
