Developmental venous anomaly in association with neuromigrational anomalies.
This report describes a male neonate with unusual neuroradiologic findings at birth. The patient's subsequent clinical course and the evolution of his findings on serial magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance venograms are consistent with a developmental venous anomaly. The case underscores the association of developmental venous anomalies with neuromigrational disorders such as polymicrogyria and nonschizencephalic clefts. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing this problem for prognostication and treatment.
