Developmental venous anomaly with contralateral impaired venous drainage in a 17-year-old male. A case report

Interv Neuroradiol. 2013 Mar;19(1):67-72. doi: 10.1177/159101991301900110. Epub 2013 Mar 4.

Abstract

Developmental venous anomalies (DVA) drain normal neural tissue and are mostly discovered incidentally. We describe a young patient with a left hemisphere superficial to deep DVA and right hemisphere venous outflow restriction presenting with a seizure. The right hemisphere drainage variation is not typical of a DVA but represents another drainage pattern on the border of normality.
