Cerebellar Infarct Caused by Spontaneous Thrombosis of a Developmental Venous Anomaly of the Posterior Fossa

Abstract

Summary: Spontaneous thrombosis of a posterior fossa developmental venous anomaly (DVA) caused a nonhemorrhagic cerebellar infarct in a 31-year-old man who also harbored a midbrain cavernous angioma. DVA thrombosis was well depicted on CT and MR studies and was proved at angiography by the demonstration of an endoluminal clot.
