Intracerebral hemorrhage due to rupture of venous angioma of the brain (case report and literature review)

Abstract

Venous cerebral angiomas are one of the most common cerebrovascular anomalies and are often detected by neuroimaging in people with nonspecific complaints. It is generally accepted that venous angiomas have a benign course and do not require observation and treatment. At the same time, cases of spontaneous thrombosis of venous angiomas with the development of ischemic stroke are described, their possible participation in vasoneural conflict and epileptogenesis. The largest number of publications concern ruptures of venous angiomas with the formation of intracerebral hematomas. The article presents our own clinical observation of a young patient with intracerebral hemorrhage due to the rupture of a large venous angioma, which required surgical treatment. A review of scientific publications on the frequency of hemorrhages from venous angiomas, risk factors and management of such patients is also presented.
