Hi
Yes, the angiomas may last throughout the life if not corrected.
In fact they become a potential source of morbidity by leading to bleeding in the brain.
So do meet the neurosurgeon
This condition may also be hereditary or genetic based. Hence checking in family members is essential
Best of luck
