“…However, a subset of DVAs has been associated with findings such as cavernous malformations (CMs), [1][2][3] thrombosis with subsequent venous infarction, [4][5][6][7][8] lobar atrophy, 9 T2 and FLAIR signal-intensity abnormalities, 9,10 and SWI hypointensities. 11 Signal abnormalities can occur in the drainage territory of DVAs and may produce diagnostic uncertainty with regard to the significance and relationship to presenting symptoms.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Abnormal signal in the drainage territory of developmental venous anomalies has been well described in adults but has been incompletely investigated in children. This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of brain parenchymal abnormalities subjacent to developmental venous anomalies in children and young adults, correlating with subject age and developmental venous anomaly morphology and location.

“…4 There have also been a few case reports of nonhemorrhagic presumed venous infarction in the drainage territory of the DVA. [5][6][7][8] Signal-intensity abnormality on T2-weighted or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences has been infrequently reported in the drainage territory of DVAs and has not been thoroughly investigated. Although some of the early literature described signal-intensity abnormalities in the adjacent parenchyma, these were in small case series and appeared, in some instances, to be related to prior hemorrhage.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The occurrence of brain parenchymal signal-intensity changes within the drainage territory of developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) in the absence of cavernous malformations (CMs) has been incompletely assessed. This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of brain parenchymal signal-intensity abnormalities subjacent to DVA, correlating with DVA morphology and location.

“…Drainage vein thrombosis of a DVA is rare, and only 28 patients with 29 cases of symptomatic thrombosed DVAs have been reported in the literature [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]. These patients had a variety of presentations including venous ischemic infarction (n = 16, 55%), parenchymal hemorrhage (n = 8, 28%), venous congestive edema (n = 3, 10%), or subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 2, 7%).…”

Background: Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are variations of normal transmedullary veins draining white and gray matter. In the vast majority of cases, DVAs are diagnosed incidentally and should be considered as benign entities. In extremely rare circumstances, DVAs may become symptomatic due to mechanical or flow-related etiologies. Thrombosis of the collector vein of a DVA is a rare type of a flow-related complication with only 29 cases reported in the literature, the majority of which are supratentorial. Infratentorial thrombosed DVAs are thus extremely rare and the few cases reported have typically caused symptoms due to venous ischemic infarctions. Summary: We report a case of an infratentorial DVA with a thrombosed drainage vein in a patient with nonhemorrhagic, noninfarcted venous congestive edema, which was successfully treated with high-dose glucocorticoids and short-term anticoagulation. We review the pertinent venous anatomy of the posterior fossa as well as the literature of symptomatic infratentorial thrombosed DVAs. Key Message: The presented case of an infratentorial thrombosed DVA with cerebellar and pontine venous congestive edema is extremely rare. A working knowledge of posterior fossa venous anatomy and possible pathomechanisms responsible for the rarely symptomatic lesion will aid in the timely and efficacious treatment of such lesions.
