  2. Developmental venous anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_venous_anomaly

    A developmental venous anomaly (DVA, formerly known as venous angioma) is a congenital variant of the cerebral venous drainage. On imaging it is seen as a number of small deep parenchymal veins converging toward a larger collecting vein.

  3. Cranial venous outflow obstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_venous_outflow...

    The pathophysiology of cranial venous outflow obstruction involves the disruption of normal venous drainage from the brain. Cerebral veins play a crucial role in draining brain interstitial fluid (ISF), and their significance has been linked in various neurological conditions. [1] It can be caused by extrinsic or intrinsic anomalies. [7]

  4. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_venous_sinus...

    Symptoms may include severe headache, visual symptoms, any of the symptoms of stroke such as weakness of the face and limbs on one side of the body, and seizures, which occur in around 40% of patients. [2] The diagnosis is usually by computed tomography (CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to demonstrate obstruction of the venous ...

  5. Cavernous hemangioma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavernous_hemangioma

    Cavernous hemangioma, also called cavernous angioma, venous malformation, or cavernoma, [1] [2] is a type of venous malformation due to endothelial dysmorphogenesis from a lesion which is present at birth. A cavernoma in the brain is called a cerebral cavernous malformation or CCM.

  6. Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency controversy

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_cerebrospinal...

    Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI or CCVI) is a term invented by Italian researcher Paolo Zamboni in 2008 to describe compromised flow of blood in the veins draining the central nervous system. [1] [2] Zamboni hypothesized that it might play a role in the cause or development of multiple sclerosis (MS).

  7. Vascular anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_anomaly

    Venous malformation is a bluish lesion compressible on palpation; the masses enlarge with physical activity or if in a dependent position. The bluish lesion is caused by dilated venous vessels. Venous malformations can be painful in the morning due to stasis and microthrombi within the veins. Venous malformations usually occur in the head and ...

  8. Vascular malformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_malformation

    A vascular malformation is a type of vascular anomaly. [2] They may cause aesthetic problems as they have a growth cycle, and can continue to grow throughout life. Vascular malformations of the brain include those involving capillaries, and those involving the veins and arteries.

  9. Dural venous sinuses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dural_venous_sinuses

    The dural venous sinuses (also called dural sinuses, cerebral sinuses, or cranial sinuses) are venous sinuses (channels) found between the periosteal and meningeal layers of dura mater in the brain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They receive blood from the cerebral veins , and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space via arachnoid granulations .
