title: [Cerebral venous angiomas in childhood].
abstract: Six cases of cerebral venous angioma in children under 8 years of age reported, with respects to their clinical and neuroradiological features. Any attempt of classification is inadequate, due to the protean characteristics of these malformations, wich can be definied - and usually are - upon the base of predominantly angiographic standards, a valuable diagnostic help being provided by the computerized tomographic investigation. The study of cerebral regional blood flow can represent a major instrument when the clinical and morphological aspects of the malformation make an alteration of it suspectable. In the cases we operated on, clinical healing has been obtained; no worsening has been observed in non-operated cases, during a follow-up of 1 to 7 years; only one of our little patients, presenting with an enormous aneurism of Galen's vein, which we regarded as inoperable, died at 9 months of age.
