Hypervascular cavernous angioma at angiography.
Arteriovenous malformations usually do not present any diagnostic difficulty on the angiograms. However, small cryptic and cavernous angiomas cannot be demonstrated directly by arteriography because of either sluggish circulation or thrombosis. The present communication documents a relatively rare case of histologically proven cavernous angioma with a hypervascular pattern on the arteriogram.
