Updates to Study Attributes

Findings was added:

MRI demonstrates a right pontine popcorn lesion with a complete surrounding hemosiderin ring with complex signal intensity due to blood product of varying age. The lesion is consistent with a cavernous malformation. Note the presence of an associated developmental venous anomaly seen only on T1 C+ sequence, draining the right cerebellar hemisphere. Susceptibility sequence failed to detect other similar lesions.
