Abnormal venous system in occipital meningoencephalocele: MR angiography.
In the literature, the combination of an abnormal cerebral venous system at conventional cerebral angiography with meningoencephalocele has been described. To our knowledge an abnormal venous system in patients with a meningoencephalocele disclosed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has never been reported. A case is presented and the value of MRA, especially in the pediatric population, is stressed.
