Developmental Venous Anomaly with Adjacent Parenchymal Abnormality Masquerading as Glioma-A Unique Case Report

A unique pulmonary venous abnormality: with associated pulmonary arterial anomaly and arteriovenous malformation.

A man aged 29 was first seen at the age of 11, when he was found to have a congenital anomaly of the pulmonary veins which follow an abnormal course to the hilum.

Symptomatic compression of a cranial nerve by the collecting vein of a DVA is extremely rare, such as tinnitus from compression of the vestibulocochlear nerve. A 51-year-old man presented with 1 week of intermittent vertigo a...
