History (HX): Headache . female 9y
Findings: Linear signal void structure just below the left middle cerebellar peduncle extending between the left CPA cistern and the 4th ventricle width shows enhancement on post-Gd images and show multiple branches. Diagnose (DX):Venous angioma (developmental venous anomally = DVA) Discussion:These are usually located in periventricular region or at subcortical area. One important aspect is the venous angioma is a compensatory drainage route for normal brain and sacrifice of this pathway can produce venous infarction of brain tissue being drained, so these are not surgical lesion unless misdiagnosis |
