Giant symptomatic capillary telangiectasia of the brain Telangiectasia capilar cerebral gigante sintomática

A 30-year-old female reported sporadic paresthesia and tremors in the left hand, hemiface, and hemibody. MRI showed a lesion in the left pontomesencephalic junction (Figure 1), with brushlike enhancement after gadolinium administration, well depicted with maximum intensity projection (MIP) technique (Figure 2). Despite its unusually large dimensions, the lesion was diagnosed as a capillary tela...

Symptomatic unruptured capillary telangiectasia of the brain stem: report of three cases and review of the literature.

Three young patients with transient or intermittent focal neurological signs suggesting brain stem involvement are described, in whom high field MRI showed focal areas of hyperintensity in T2 weighted spin echo images, hypointensity in T2* weighted gradient echo images, and enhancement in postcontrast T1 weighted images consistent with unruptured capillary telangiectasia of the brain stem. The ...

Symptomatic capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral developmental venous anomaly - A rare association.

Various combinations of vascular malformations of the brain in one lesion have been reported, while others seem to be very rare. In this report, the authors discuss the case of a coexistence of an capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral venous anomaly. To our knowledge, this is the first report of coexistence of a capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral venous anom...

Capillary telangiectasia of the brainstem: MR features

Cerebral vascular malformations are usually divided into arteriovenous malformations, developmental venous anomalies, cavernous angiomas and capillary telangiectasias with capillary telangiectasias accounting for 16%-20% of all vascular malformations at autopsy studies [1]. Capillary telangiectasias primarily occur in the brainstem and consist of numerous thin-walled vessels separated by normal...
