Computed tomography of cerebral venous angiomas. 1977

L G Michels, and J R Bentson, and J Winter

Six cases of venous angioma of the brain, a rare vascular malformation, were studied by means of computed tomography (CT), angiography, and other tests. In each case, angiography demonstrated the typical normal arterial phase and the network of abnormal veins that converge on a single large draining vein. In three cases, the CT scans showed rounded areas of high density not unlike neoplasms in appearance. In the other cases, the CT scan demonstrated the enlarged draining vein only. The CT scan findings, although not specific, may alert the radiologist to the possibility of this lesion and may lead to its demonstration through angiography.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
