Two Bleeding Foci in a Mixed Vascular Malformation of the Brain

ABSTRACT

A cavernous angioma (CA) and a developmental venous anomaly may consist a mixed vascular malformation (MVM). Two bleeding foci were observed in a MVM of a man with epilepsy. The hemodynamic association between the two foci was not clear. An advance of neuroimaging may enhance the susceptibility of detection of MVMs. We should consider a MVM when a daughter bleeding focus occurs near the main bleeding focus associated with a CA.
