We present novel data on CCM using a large single-institution and population-based setup. The study elaborates disease characteristics of CCM patients in detail. For the first time, evidence for an unexplained high prevalence of allergic diseases in this patient population is described (differing between sporadic and familial cases), supporting the hypothesis that immune response is involved in the pathogenesis of CCM.
