Thrombosed Cerebral Venous Anomaly with Double Annular Enhancement

Cerebral venous anomaly (CVA) is a rare congenital malformation. Caput medusa and stripe signs were the most common imaging findings in CVA patients. Here, we present the case of a thrombosed CVA with a double annular enhancement in a 62-year-old male with a 2-month history of worsening headaches. •...

Description
Summary:Cerebral venous anomaly (CVA) is a rare congenital malformation. Caput medusa and stripe signs were the most common imaging findings in CVA patients. Here, we present the case of a thrombosed CVA with a double annular enhancement in a 62-year-old male with a 2-month history of worsening headaches. •Caput medusa and stripe signs were the most common imaging findings in CVA patients.•There were few thrombosed CVA cases with double annular enhancement.•We explained the pathophysiology of thrombosed CVA and why patient’s headaches disappeared after the resection.
