Surgical Treatment of Venous Varix Associated with a Cerebral Developmental Venous Anomaly
نویسنده
چکیده
Venous varix occurring with a developmental venous anomaly is a rare disease entity that may be found incidentally by conventional cerebral angiography. Developmental venous anomaly (DVA) without venous varix has a normal physiology, and thus, in most cases treatment is not necessary. Although most varices with venous anomalies are known to be clinically silent but if hemorrhage from increased venous pressure or occurs, then a critical intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) may follow. But there is no guideline about conservative and surgical treatment. The authors present their surgical experience of 35-year-old man with a large venous varix occurring with DVA and rationale for surgical treatment.

Hemispheric developmental venous anomaly draining into a vein of Galen varix: a case report and literature review
Background: Developmental venous anomaly (DVA), previously known as “venous angioma”, is the most common cerebral vascular malformation, but hemispheric DVA is extremely rare. Case presentation: In this article we present a 21-year-old female with a large DVA draining the whole left hemisphere, combined with a vein of Galen varix and falcine sinus. To our knowledge, only 4 cases of hemispheric ...
متن کاملBilateral cerebral venous angioma associated with varices: a case report and review of the literature.
A varix occurring with a cerebral venous angioma is a rare combination of cerebral vascular malformations. The most common vascular anomaly associated with a venous angioma is a cavernous angioma. We report a case of bilateral supratentorial venous angioma with 2 varices involving the angioma situated on the right frontotemporal region. Multiple subependymal veins were seen in the right suprate...
متن کاملDevelopmental Venous Anomaly: Benign or Not Benign
Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs), previously called venous angiomas, are the most frequently encountered cerebral vascular malformations. However, DVA is considered to be rather an extreme developmental anatomical variation of medullary veins than true malformation. DVAs are composed of dilated medullary veins converging centripetally into a large collecting venous system that drains into ...
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...

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.
