Cerebral venous angioma: correlation of radionuclide brain scan, transmission computed tomography, and angiography. 1979

C L Partain, and F C Guinto, and J H Scatliff, and J Limbacher, and P Janicki, and C C Heindel

Three cases of intracerebral venous angioma, a rare vascular malformation, were studied by radionuclide brain scan, transmission computed tomography (TCT) and angiography. In each case, the radionuclide flow study demonstrated a typical area of abnormal increase in activity during the venous phase; in two of the cases the arterial phase was also abnormal. Each contrast angiogram demonstrated a normal arterial distribution and a characteristic network of abnormal veins that converged to a large transcerebral draining vein. The TCT scans showed enhancing, curvilinear densities; while not specific, this finding should suggest the possibility of venous angioma in the brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002538 Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.

D006391 Hemangioma A vascular anomaly due to proliferation of BLOOD VESSELS that forms a tumor-like mass. The common types involve CAPILLARIES and VEINS.
