Abstract

A 34-year-old woman had a generalized convulsion of sudden onset on April 30, 1985. The next day, she suffered a reattack of generalized convulsion. She was admitted to Kokura Memorial Hospital on May 13, 1985, and was found to have intracerebral hemorrhage on CT-scan then, underwent surgical procedure. Based on cerebral angiographic findings and histological examination, the diagnosis of cerebral venous angioma was done. Cerebral venous angioma is a relatively rare vascular malformation. Its characteristic angiographic findings are a normal arterial phase and a local network of small vein that converged centrally into a single large vein. However, this present case of venous angioma in the left frontal lobe with hematoma showed not only characteristically enlarged medurally vein, but also early venous filling. The literature of operated venous angioma with early venous filling of the brain are reviewed and discussed.
