  • Title: MR imaging and angiography of cerebral venous angiomas associated with brain tumors.
    Author: Uchino A, Hasuo K, Matsumoto S, Furukawa T, Matsuura Y, Fujii K, Fukui M, Masuda K.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1992; 34(1):25-9. PubMed ID: 1553034.
    Abstract:
    MR study of 6 patients with concurrent venous angioma and brain tumor revealed that in 2 of the 6 cases, the draining vein of the venous angioma was located near to the tumor and was displaced by the tumor. Two of the 6 venous angiomas were too small to visualize prior to contrast enhancement, but could be detected following administration of Gd-DTPA. Angiography was required for definitive diagnosis of the venous angiomas. When a venous angioma is suspected or is detected incidentally, especially when very near a brain tumor, angiography should be considered before performing surgery to avoid surgical complications. Otherwise, ligation of the vein draining the venous angioma may lead to venous infarction.
