  • Title: Dilated venous plexus of the hypoglossal canal mimicking disease.
    Author: Stuckey SL.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1999 Jan; 20(1):157-8. PubMed ID: 9974073.
    Abstract:
    This article describes a case of prominent emissary veins of the hypoglossal canal protruding into the cerebellomedullary cistern mimicking disease, such as a nerve sheath tumor. The diagnosis and differentiation in this instance were confirmed by MR angiography and a review of alternative imaging planes. A diagnosis of hypoglossal canal lesions should be made with caution, as these lesions are quite rare, and vascular anomalies, such as those described, may mimic disease in this region.
