title: Evidence of acute demyelination around a developmental venous anomaly: magnetic resonance imaging findings.
abstract: The authors report on the occurrence of a focal demyelination showing a mass effect around a developmental venous anomaly in the cerebellum. Because the latter presented as a single lesion, the differentiation from intraparenchymal neoplasms or infarction was difficult. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging and histology from a biopsy specimen give useful information to find the appropriate diagnosis.
