ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - New Mexico's congressional delegation is sponsoring legislation to increase research and education efforts related to Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM), a relatively unknown illness that is more common among New Mexico Hispanics than any other group.
CCM, also known as Cavernous Angioma, affects approximately 1.5 million Americans, the majority of whom live in New Mexico. The bill would authorize a Cavernous Angioma Clinical Care, Awareness, Research and Education (CARE) Center of Excellence at the University of New Mexico.
CCM is caused by abnormal blood vessels that form clusters, known as angiomas, in the brain or spinal cord that can cause seizures, neurological deficits, headaches or hemorrhages.
The disease was common among Spanish settlers in New Mexico in the 1580s.
