Bilateral cerebral venous angioma associated with varices: a case report and review of the literature.
A varix occurring with a cerebral venous angioma is a rare combination of cerebral vascular malformations. The most common vascular anomaly associated with a venous angioma is a cavernous angioma. We report a case of bilateral supratentorial venous angioma with 2 varices involving the angioma situated on the right frontotemporal region. Multiple subependymal veins were seen in the right supratentorial region, which joined to form multiple collector veins, which, in turn, unified into a tortuous channel in the region of the sylvian fissure and continued into venous varices.
