Central Nervous System Venous Angioma
A vascular anomaly characterized by a radial or wedge-shaped arrangement of dilated VEINS draining into a larger vein in the brain, spinal cord, or the meninges. Veins in a venous angioma are surrounded by normal nervous tissue, unlike a CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA that lacks intervening nervous tissue. Drainage of venous angioma is fully integrated with the body's venous system, therefore, in most cases there is no clinical signs and rare bleeding.
Hemangioma
Hemangioma, Cavernous
A vascular anomaly that is a collection of tortuous BLOOD VESSELS and connective tissue. This tumor-like mass with the large vascular space is filled with blood and usually appears as a strawberry-like lesion in the subcutaneous areas of the face, extremities, or other regions of the body including the central nervous system.
Central Nervous System
Hemangioma, Cavernous, Central Nervous System
A vascular anomaly composed of a collection of large, thin walled tortuous VEINS that can occur in any part of the central nervous system but lack intervening nervous tissue. Familial occurrence is common and has been associated with a number of genes mapped to 7q, 7p and 3q. Clinical features include SEIZURES; HEADACHE; STROKE; and progressive neurological deficit.
Tomography, X-Ray Computed
Meninges
Telangiectasis
Erythema
Focal Nodular Hyperplasia
Solitary or multiple benign hepatic vascular tumors, usually occurring in women of 20-50 years of age. The nodule, poorly encapsulated, consists of a central stellate fibrous scar and normal liver elements such as HEPATOCYTES, small BILE DUCTS, and KUPFFER CELLS among the intervening fibrous septa. The pale colored central scar represents large blood vessels with hyperplastic fibromuscular layer and narrowing lumen.
Association of venous angioma and atypical meningioma--case report. (1/11)
A 67-year-old male presented with an atypical meningioma arising from the right tentorium associated with a venous angioma in the left cerebellar hemisphere. The venous angioma was detected incidentally during examinations for the brain tumor. The brain tumor was removed completely and the venous angioma followed conservatively. Venous angiomas associated with brain tumors should be followed conservatively, as the clinical significance and surgical indications are unclear. (+info)Midbrain venous angioma with obstructive hydrocephalus. (2/11)
A rare case of a mid brain venous angioma with obstructive hydrocephalus is described. A dilated draining vein from the lesion in the aqueduct as the cause of the hydrocephalus is highlighted, and interesting features of the pathology of venous angiomas and associated cavernous hemangioma are described. The management of this interesting condition is discussed. (+info)Histologically classified venous angiomas of the brain: a controversy. (3/11)
The term "venous angioma" (VA) usually refers to a developmental venous anomaly (DVA). However, a group of vascular malformations called VAs shows no venous abnormalities on angiography. The clinical and histological features of histologically classified VAs were studied in eight patients who presented with hemorrhage or seizures to reevaluate these venous anomalies. Angiography showed no venous abnormalities in six patients. Histological study included immunostaining for smooth muscle actin and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Surgical specimens of 10 cases of cavernous angiomas, 10 cases of arteriovenous malformations, and two cases of capillary telangiectasias were studied to compare these types of VAs. Angiographically occult VAs were surgically removed safely, whereas removal of DVAs was complicated by brain swelling and hemorrhagic infarction of the brain. Histological examination found angiographically occult VAs contained malformed and compactly arranged vessels with partly degenerated walls, whereas DVAs had dilated thin-walled vessels that were diffusely distributed in the normal white matter. This study of our cases and a review of the reported cases of VAs suggests that two different clinical and pathological entities are commonly categorized as "VA," angiographically occult VAs and DVAs. These two entities should be carefully distinguished. (+info)Atypical MR imaging perfusion in developmental venous anomalies. (4/11)
Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are common variants of cerebral venous drainage that are typically incidental findings on contrast-enhanced MR imaging studies. We present four cases of asymptomatic DVAs that demonstrate increased cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, mean transit time, and time to peak on perfusion MR images. Our study indicates that alterations in perfusion MR imaging parameters can be seen with uncomplicated DVAs and do not necessarily imply a more ominous underlying etiologic factor, such as hypervascular tumor or stroke. (+info)Bilateral cerebral venous angioma associated with varices: a case report and review of the literature. (5/11)
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 supratentorial region, which joined to form multiple collector veins, which, in turn, unified into a tortuous channel in the region of the sylvian fissure and continued into venous varices. (+info)Treatment differences in cases with venous angioma. (6/11)
Venous angiomas were found to be the most common cerebral vascular malformations, composing 63% of such lesions in two autopsy series. Annual bleeding risk associated with venous angiomas is about 0.22 % per year. Venous angiomas are generally silent lesions because of their dynamic features, and are low flow and low pressure vascular structures draining normal brain tissue. An angioma rarely causes symptoms such as bleeding, seizure, hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, aqueduct compression, nonhemorrhagic infarction and thrombosis of the draining vein. Even if it should bleed, the lesion can be managed conservatively in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients. In this paper we report two venous angioma cases. The first patient bled twice in a short period of time and the angioma was located at the posterior fossa next to the left lateral recess. The second patient recently suffered a cerebral stroke that was located in the vicinity of the right caudate nucleus and not associated with the venous angioma that was located next to the left caudate nucleus. This patient had been under warfarin sodium treatment for 14 years due to his previous coronary artery bypass surgery, but unknowingly there was a venous angioma located next to the caudate nucleus.
