Sturge-Weber syndrome is characterized by the association of a trigeminal port-wine facial angioma with a pial venular angioma, usually ipsilateral to the facial nevus. However, a bilateral pial angioma may coexist with a unilateral facial nevus (1 ), and pial angioma may be present without any facial nevus (2] . The pial angioma is responsible for partial seizures, hemiplegia, and mental retar...

A 17-year-old male and a 28-year-old female presented with cavernous angioma and venous angioma colocated in the same region, and manifesting as convulsions. The cavernous angiomas were extirpated without damage to the venous angioma. No postoperative neurological deficits were observed. The patients have been free of convulsions without anticonvulsant medication for 2 years. Early extirpation ...

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...

The imaging features of a cavernous angioma, which originated from the meninges, are presented. The patient harbored a second cavernous angioma within the brain parenchyma. Cavernous angioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of dural lesions, especially when other cavernous angiomas are present.

We present the case of a 58-year-old man who suffered a left thalamic intracerebral hemorrhage. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an incidental venous angioma in the left frontal lobe. Further elucidated by cerebral angiography and functional MRI, this venous angioma exhibited arteriovenous shunting. The arterialized venous angioma represents an uncommon, "mixed" intracranial vasc...

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...

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 ...
