Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are variations in the transmedullary veins required for drainage of the brain. Normally, when occurring in isolation, DVAs are not clinically significant and are therefore usually a benign diagnosis. Thus, they are most often an incidental finding unless associated with an adjacent pathology. However, intracranial haemorrhage induced by a DVA alone can rarely occur and has been scarcely reported. In this case report we discuss a 58-year-old woman who presented with signs and symptoms of a cerebellar syndrome. Following a non-contrast CT, a CT angiogram and MRI contrast scan of the brain, she was found to have a cerebellar DVA and an intracranial haemorrhage. Subsequent imaging 3 months later with CT and MRI redemonstrated additional evidence of a cavernoma. The patient was managed conservatively. |
