  • Title: Angiographic and computed tomographic correlation in cerebral venous angiomas.
    Author: Solomon EH, Bonstelle CT, Modic MT, Kaufman B.
    Journal: J Comput Tomogr; 1980 Sep; 4(3):217-21. PubMed ID: 7261653.
    Abstract:
    Venous angioma of the brain is a rare congenital vascular anomaly. In the last few years there have been several reports on the angiographic appearance of this lesion, but very little has been written about the findings on computed tomography (CT). Angiographically, the arterial phase is normal, while the capillary phase might demonstrate a blush. The major abnormality is the venous phase, where multiple dilated medullary veins converge centrally into a large drainage vein. The two cases presented here correlate the angiographic and CT appearances. It is felt that, with a knowledge of these findings, an accurate diagnosis of this condition can usually be reached.
