Developmental Venous Anomaly Complicated by Cerebral Venous Infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developmental venous anomaly is a vascular malformation thought to be a benign embryologic variant. We describe a patient who presented with focal neurological deficits and parathesia due to an infarct associated with a developmental venous anomaly with a thrombosed draining vein.

Successful Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in the Presence of an Intraventricular Developmental Venous Anomaly: Case Report
Cerebral cavernous malformations are commonly associated with a developmental venous anomaly. Sparing this anomaly is considered important as it frequently is part of the venous drainage of normal brain parenchyma. We present a case in which a developmental venous anomaly of the third ventricle associated with a thalamic cavernous malformation increased the degree of difficulty of successful en...

PURPOSE To study cerebral developmental venous anomalies in patients with extensive venous malformations of the head and neck. METHODS All patients had undergone carotid angiography 10 to 15 years previously. Four-vessel cerebral angiography was carried out in 40 patients with venous malformations. All patients had a physical examination, 16 had CT, and 22 were examined with MR imaging. One p...

We report a rare case of thrombosed developmental venous anomaly (DVA) in a 31-year old male with hemorrhagic cerebral venous infarction at the initial clinical presentation. In this case, sequential CT, CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography demonstrated thrombotic obstruction of the venous drainage from DVA, its progressive recanalization and temporal evolution of the affected bra...
متن کاملDevelopmental Venous Anomaly Serving as a Draining Vein of Brain Arteriovenous Malformation
Developmental venous anomalies are cerebral vascular malformations that present normal venous drainage of cerebral tissue. With increased and accessible usage of modern diagnostic tools, they are now one of the most commonly diagnosed cerebral vascular malformations. Although developmental venous anomalies are considered to be benign lesions, association with arteriovenous malformation renders ...
