Abstract

We aim to present here a small case series of symptomatic isolated hemorrhagic arterialized developmental venous anomalies (sDVAs) with a larger goal of revisiting the classification based on patho-mechanisms plus emphasizing angiographic features coupled with CT and MRI. Typically, DVA is an incidental and silent abnormality on neuroimaging. Understanding its morphology in terms of arterialization and relationship with other entities is crucial for management. One adult and two pediatric cases presented with acute or sub-acute hemorrhage in the cerebellum or thalamus. Morphologic characterization on cross-sectional imaging and catheter angiography confirmed the integrated diagnosis of "symptomatic isolated hemorrhagic arterialized DVAs with deeper or superficial venous drainage". Conservative management was adopted in all cases. We emphasize the following classification and approach for symptomatic DVAs: (1) congestive isolated arterialized sDVAs, (2) congestive isolated resistive sDVAs, (3) coexisting sDVAs (with AVM or cavernous malformation), (4) compressive sDVAs (compressive effects), and (5) idiopathic DVAs. Like our three cases, ganglionic and infratentorial DVAs have higher propensity of hemorrhage, compressive effects...Continue Reading

Cavernous Hemangioma

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.
