A rare case of focal multiple medullary venous malformations with ipsilateral cerebral surface varix.
We report here a rare case of focal multiple venous malformations (VMs) in the white matter, via a draining vein arising from each VM, connecting with an ipsilateral cerebral surface venous varix. The male teen was asymptomatic neurologically. A diagnostic process using of MRI/MRDSA in this extremely rare entity is important as the more incidental discovery is expected with increasing opportunities of performing brain CT/MRI for various indications.
