Abstract
Using two 1.5-T magnetic resonance (MR) scanners, 82 venous angiomas (VAs) were imaged. There were 13 (16%) VAs associated with hemorrhagic lesions. Ten of the 13 hemorrhagic lesions were considered hematomas in the subacute or chronic stage, caused by VAs or coexisting cavernous hemangiomas. Two of the 13 were subacute intracerebral hematomas; the remaining one was a sequela of a hemorrhagic venous infarct. After analysis of our data, it was concluded that infratentorial VAs and deeply draining supratentorial VAs in relatively young adults, especially females, are relatively frequently associated with intracerebral hemorrhagic lesions. MR imaging proved useful for diagnosing VAs and associated hemorrhagic lesions.
