Medullary Hemorrhage after Ischemic Wallenberg's Syndrome in a Patient with Cavernous Angioma

Medullary hemorrhage that preceded the onset of multiple cavernous angiomas.

Medullary hemorrhage is rare, and the causative role of hypertension still remains controversial. Cavernous angioma and other vascular malformations have been reported to cause medullary hemorrhage. A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for vertigo. Medullary hemorrhage and multiple small hypointense lesions were detected on T2-star weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2*W MRI). One a...

Repeated multiple intracranial hemorrhages induced by cardiac myxoma mimicking cavernous angiomas: a case report

Background: Repeated intracranial hemorrhages caused by cardiac myxoma is very rare. It is essential for physicians to be aware of such uncommon clinical feature of myxoma. Case presentation: We report a-49-year-old female patient complained of repeated multiple intracranial hemorrhages, with no sign of cardiac dysfunction or cerebral infarction before admission. Cavernous angioma (CA) was misd...

Brown-Séquard syndrome secondary to spontaneous bleed from postradiation cavernous angiomas.

SUMMARY The spontaneous occurrence of acute Brown-Séquard syndrome is an extremely rare event, with most reported cases being secondary to spontaneous epidural hematomas and spinal cord ischemia. We report a rare case of Brown-Séquard syndrome from spontaneous intraspinal hemorrhage in a patient with multiple cavernous angiomas in the spinal cord secondary to craniospinal radiation in childhood...

Simultaneous occurrence of developmental venous anomalies and cavernous angiomas.

PURPOSE To study the clinical and radiologic findings in 15 patients presenting with both developmental venous anomalies and cavernous angiomas and to determine which lesions caused the acute clinical symptoms. METHODS Lesions were infratentorial in 7 patients and supratentorial in 7 other patients. In one patient the developmental venous anomaly was infratentorial and the cavernous angioma s...
