Fibro-Angioma Growing from the Inferior Turbinal

Venous Angioma, Cavernous Angioma, and Hemorrhage

In this issue of AJNR, Wilms et al ( 1) add to the ongoing debate whether the venous angioma, more recently called developmental venous anomaly (2), can be symptomatic, whether it alone can bleed, or whether such hemorrhage occurs because of the concomitant occurrence of a cavernous angioma . This debate is not just semantic. It is essential to pathophysiologic understanding of a given lesion s...

Aqueduct compression from venous angioma: MR findings.

Vascular compression as the cause of aqueductal stenosis is rare. In a 16-year-old girl with hydrocephalus, MR imaging provided evidence of aqueductal stenosis caused by a venous angioma in the tectum and midbrain. This indicates the usefulness of MR imaging for the evaluation of obstructive hydrocephalus.

Angioma of the Vertebra

Diagnosis of angioma of the vertebra is a rarity. It may be discovered accidentally while radiographying the spine for some other lesion. And in such a case the disease remains asymptomatic. Symptoms, when present, may be pain in the back (Case No. 1) , or they may be those of spinal cord compression (Case No. 2) which are indistinguishable from those produced by spinal cord tumour. The diagnos...
