title: Multiple medullary venous malformations decreasing cerebral blood flow: case report.
abstract: A rare case of multiple medullary venous malformations in the right cerebral hemisphere is reported. The literature review yielded only one case of multiple medullary venous malformations. Computed tomography scan showed multiple calcified lesions with linear contrast enhancement representing abnormal dilated vessels and mild atrophic change of the right cerebral hemisphere. Single-photon emission computed tomography using N-isopropyl-p-(123I) iodoamphetamine demonstrated decreased cerebral blood flow in the right cerebral hemisphere.
