Sažetak
Two cases of intracranial venous angiomas, one in a 42-year-old woman and another one in a 27-year-old-man, are presented. Intracranial venous angiomas, also known as developmental venous anomalies, represent one of four cerebral vascular malformations. Usually they are incidentally discovered on cerebral imaging. These lesions have a characteristic appearance in the venous phase of angiography, a starburst pattern or umbrella sign, described as caput medusae. Most of the lesions are clinically silent, however, they can be symptomatic with clinical presentation including seizures, headache, dizziness and focal neurologic deficits. They are sometimes associated with cerebral hemorrhage. In general, no treatment is required. Surgery is only indicated if seizures attributed to the lesion or hemorrhage occur.
