چکیده
A rare case of a mid brain venous angioma with obstructive hydrocephalus is described. A dilated draining vein from the lesion in the aqueduct as the cause of the hydrocephalus is highlighted, and interesting features of the pathology of venous angiomas and associated cavernous hemangioma are described. The management of this interesting condition is discussed.

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.
متن کاملAcquired cerebellar cavernous angioma following childhood radiotherapy in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.
We report the unusual case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type I, who was irradiated 16 years previously for a mesencephalic glioma causing hydrocephalus, and who developed a cerebellar haemorrhage caused by a histologically confirmed cavernous angioma, that was invisible on several earlier MRI scans. The different hypotheses concerning the de novo formation of cavernous angiomas (venous o...

The authors describe a case of a large subtentorial supracollicular diverticulum of the third ventricle associated with a cavernous angioma in its wall in a 6-year-old girl who presented with developmental delay and obstructive hydrocephalus. This is the first case in which such association has been diagnosed and successfully treated. The literature is reviewed, and the possible relationship be...
متن کاملAqueductal developmental venous anomaly as an unusual cause of congenital hydrocephalus: a case report and review of the literature
INTRODUCTION Aqueductal stenosis may be caused by a number of etiologies including congenital stenosis, tumor, inflammation, and, very rarely, vascular malformation. However, aqueductal stenosis caused by a developmental venous anomaly presenting as congenital hydrocephalus is even more rare, and, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been reported in the literature. In this study, we revie...
متن کاملVenous angiomas.
OPINION STATEMENT Venous angiomas are currently widely referred to as developmental venous anomalies (DVAs), reflecting the prevailing concept that they represent anomalous, but functional, venous channels within the brain parenchyma. Although DVAs are not infrequently associated with other vascular malformations that harbor hemorrhage risk or can present symptomatically, isolated DVAs themselv...
