| Core Tip |
When developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) and cerebral cavernous malformations (CMs) coexist, the DVA’s altered venous pressure and flow can promote CM formation or rupture. Detecting a DVA next to an otherwise unexplained intracerebral hemorrhage can therefore raise suspicion of an occult CM as the underlying etiology. This finding can represent a clue that may be invaluable for daily clinical practice. This review aims to educate readers on the hallmark imaging appearances of DVAs and CMs, as well as their coexistence, and emphasize how recognizing their partnership is vital for an accurate, timely diagnosis, which will allow for appropriately targeted management and the avoidance of unnecessary examinations or interventions. |
