Surgical Management of Cavernous Malformations and Venous Anomalies
2021, Stroke: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and ManagementSurgically Treated Epilepsy due to Developmental Venous Anomaly of the Brain: Case Report and Review of the Literature
2020, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Venous infarction followed, resulting in prolonged hospitalization and permanent neurologic deficit. Senegor et al.19 reported a case of surgically treated large fourth ventricular DVA. The draining veins were clipped, and the patient did not wake up after surgery and died 4 days later.
Long-Term Outcome of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Brain Cavernoma: Factors Associated with Subsequent De Novo Cavernoma Formation
2018, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Some previous studies have suggested that the surgical removal or the radiosurgical obliteration of DVAs should not be performed.30,31,34 During the surgery, fatal venous infarction can develop if the venous drainage of the normal tissue is abruptly obstructed by an injury to the DVA.30,32-34 Therefore, most neurosurgeons make efforts to save the associated DVA during the resection of the cavernoma.30-32,34
Developmental venous anomalies
2017, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Venous thrombosis of a DVA resulting in venous infarction has been reported (Masson et al., 2000); however, this is a rare complication and the incidence has not been documented in the medical literature. As mentioned above, DVAs should never be surgically obliterated because of their contribution to normal venous drainage and the risk for venous infarction (Senegor et al., 1983; Abla et al., 2011). Conservative management is recommended for all DVAs.
