Developmental venous anomalies with capillary stain: a subgroup of symptomatic DVAs?

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Intracranial developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are considered benign vascular dispositions; they are asymptomatic in the vast majority of cases. They represent extreme variations of the venous drainage and may rarely be responsible for focal venous ischemia leading to neurological dysfunction. The aim of the study is to analyze a group of patients with symptomatic DVAs with capillary stain at angiography. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiological features of patients in which a DVA was considered the cause of a neurological event. In all the patients, the DVA was suspected by angio-CT or MRI and conventional angiography was performed to detail the angioarchitecture of the DVA. RESULTS:A total of 7 patients and 11 DVAs were identified; three patients had multiple DVAs. Three DVAs were frontal, two were parietal, two were thalamic, one was in the midbrain, and three were cerebellar. Patients presented with progressive neurological deficits, seizures, or cerebral hemorrhage. All these DVAs were associated with a peculiar capillary stain at angiography. CONCLUSION:Although being normal anatomical variations, DVAs may create, because of hemodynamic unbalance, venous ischemia that induces angiogenic phenomena. MRI shows the suffering of the brain and angiography witnesses this angiogenesis under the form of capillary stain. Conventional angiography can thus provide useful information to recognize "atypical" symptomatic DVAs.

  • Further experience with contrast-enhanced CT in head trauma.

    abstract::Abnormal contrast enhancement was seen in 196 (39.8%) of 492 CT scans performed on patients for evaluation of head trauma. It proved most helpful in the diagnosis of isodense subdural hematomas and contusions. The advantages of contrast-enhanced CT scans in the evaluation of head trauma more than compensate for the ad...
