In this issue of AJNR, Wilms et al ( 1) add to the ongoing debate whether the venous angioma, more recently called developmental venous anomaly (2), can be symptomatic, whether it alone can bleed, or whether such hemorrhage occurs because of the concomitant occurrence of a cavernous angioma . This debate is not just semantic. It is essential to pathophysiologic understanding of a given lesion s...

Tufted angioma (known in Japanese literature as angioblastoma of Nakagawa) is an uncommon vascular tumor. Although histologically benign, tufted angioma may be disfiguring because of the disease’s potential for infinite proliferation and a predilection for the head and neck. There is a lack of epidemiological reports on tufted angioma among Taiwanese and also a dearth of therapeutic guidelines....

Forty seven cases of central nervous system cavernous angioma (21 males and 26 females) are described. The main clinical signs were epilepsy and brainstem syndromes. Digital subtraction intra-arterial angiography, when used, failed to reveal cavernoma. CT detected many of the lesions, but the most successful supplementary diagnostic procedure was MRI which produces highly characteristic images ...

UNLABELLED Tufted angioma, first recognized in Japanese literature as "Angioblastoma of Nagakawa", is a rare benign vascular tumour with a variable clinical presentation. It commonly manifests as a macule, papule or nodule in infancy or childhood in the region of the upper trunk and neck. Here in we report two cases of this rare progressive angioma as lesions of the eyelid in adults. Tufted ang...

A 21-year-old male presented with temporal lobe epilepsy associated with a venous angioma in the ipsilateral frontal lobe, presenting as intractable complex partial seizures. Neuroimaging showed a cerebral venous angioma in the right dorsolateral and opercular frontal lobe, and atrophy of the right hippocampus. As the ictal electroencephalogram (EEG) obtained with subdural electrodes indicated ...

An 80-year-old male presented with a chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma (CEIH) with surrounding edema under the right frontal lobe manifesting as slow exacerbation of disturbance of orientation and gait. He had a history of cerebral infarction with an asymptomatic cavernous angioma in the right frontal lobe. The CEIH was diagnosed as bleeding from the cavernous angioma, and surgical re...

PURPOSE To report a case of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy with a retinal capillary angioma and persistent macular exudation treated with photodynamic therapy. DESIGN Interventional case report. METHODS A 39-year-old woman with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy presented with an intraretinal capillary angioma temporally with persistent macular exudation despite previous vitrectomy ...

  Littoral cell angioma is a splenic vascular tumor of splenic sinus lining cells that is considered benign in general. This report describes a case of littoral cell angioma with no malignant histological features. The lesion is composed of anastomosing vascular channels resembling splenic sinus; they are lined by endothelial cells which show mitotic activity very rare. Immunohistochemically, ...

Laser photocoagulation might aggravate the ischemia of an area of retinal detachment and predispose the retina to formation of neovascularization and an angioma-like lesion. We present a case of retinal neovascularization (RNV) and an angioma-like lesion occurring after demarcation photocoagulation for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). A 20-year-old woman suffered from a retinal atrophic...
