Intracranial developmental venous anomalies: diagnosis using CT angiography

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1997 Jul-Aug;21(4):582-6. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199707000-00009.

Abstract

Four cases in which the diagnosis of developmental venous anomaly (DVA) was made using CT angiography are illustrated. The diagnosis of DVA was confirmed by either MR (all cases), digital subtraction angiography (two cases), or both (one case). This is the first report, to our knowledge, of the CT angiographic appearance of DVA.
