Abstract

Developmental venous anomaly (DVA) is probably the most common anomaly of the intracranial vasculature. DVAs consist of multiple, radially oriented dilated medullary veins that converge into a transcerebral vein. We describe the imaging findings of this vascular anomaly in different patients and the role of different imaging modalities.

Keywords: Cerebral blood vessels, abnormalities – Cerebral blood vessels, MR – Cerebral angiography
