Developmental Venous Anomalies

Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are generally considered a benign and asymptomatic finding on CT and MR imaging. The authors report 2 cases of spontaneous thrombosis of the draining vein of a DVA depicted on CT and MR imaging. One patient presented with a nonhemorrhagic transient ischemia, which was successfully treated with anticoagulant therapy. The second patient presented with ischemia complicated by hemorrhagic conversion.

Developmental Venous Anomalies

Background Developmental venous anomalies are considered benign lesions; however, they can become symptomatic. A capillary stain, which is an atypical angiographical feature of developmental venous anomalies, is reported to be relevant to symptomatic developmental venous anomalies. Case description A 20-year-old man with no pertinent medical history had an epileptic seizure. Magnetic resonance imaging showed severe focal oedema and gadolinium contrast enhancement in the right precentral gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus adjacent to the Sylvian fissure, indicating venous congestion; these presentations had not been observed on magnetic resonance imaging 8 months before. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a developmental venous anomaly with capillary stain. After conservative treatment, the brain oedema resolved spontaneously and contrast enhancement of the lesion reduced significantly. Conclusion We report a rare case of a symptomatic developmental venous anomaly with unique radiological characteristics and its natural and clinical evolution. Despite the presence of a capillary stain, our patient exhibited temporary exacerbations and spontaneous regression, suggesting that the capillary stain was associated with a reversible condition. This is the first report to detail the spatiotemporal changes of a developmental venous anomaly with capillary stain through imaging, suggesting that regular follow-up imaging is warranted in the management of patients with developmental venous anomalies.

Venous Fistula

This is a case report of de novo development of two cerebral cavernous malformations adjacent to existing developmental venous anomalies. The development of cavernomas was noted over a follow-up period of 10 years. These developments happened during the course of staged endovascular management of a complex dural arterio-venous fistula along the right sphenoid wing. The patient presented with a proptosis secondary to lympho-haemangiomatous lesion of the fronto-orbital region and a high-flow right sphenoid wing dural arterio-venous fistula. During the initial period of conservative management of the dural arterio-venous fistula, he developed de novo cavernous malformations in the left mesial temporal lobe adjacent to a developmental venous anomaly in the temporal lobe, and along with this there was engorgement of deep veins related to another existing developmental venous anomaly in the brainstem. Later during the course of endovascular treatment of the dural arterio-venous fistula, a large brainstem cavernoma developed adjacent to the brainstem developmental venous anomaly. This case report discusses the cause-effect relationship of venous pressure changes related to management of dural arterio-venous fistula and de novo formation of cerebral cavernous malformations adjacent to existing developmental venous anomalies.

The Right

Developmental venous anomalies (DVA) drain normal neural tissue and are mostly discovered incidentally. We describe a young patient with a left hemisphere superficial to deep DVA and right hemisphere venous outflow restriction presenting with a seizure. The right hemisphere drainage variation is not typical of a DVA but represents another drainage pattern on the border of normality.
