Abstract
Venous angioma is a common developmental abnormality of the cerebral venous vessels. Usually, this pathology is not accompanied by any symptoms and is detected accidentally during MRI studies conducted for other reasons. In our article, we present a rare clinical case when venous angioma caused symptoms due to its location, which led to the development of the aqueductal stenosis.
