Cavernous malformation with DVA
Updates to Case Attributes
A young female patient brain MRI demonstratesTypical appearances of a cavernous malformation. Susceptibility sequence failed to detect other similar lesions (Zabramski type 2) with an associated DVA, a very common finding.

Updates to Study Attributes
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.
