Malformación venosa supratentorial. Reporte de caso

Abstract

Introduction: Venous malformation (MV) is the most common variant of vascular malformations of the brain, may appear incidentally in imaging studies or manifest with headache, seizures and intracerebral bleeding, so its clinical relevance and management is still controversial. Clinical case: A 47-year-old male patient with vertigo, visual disturbances, gait instability, the imaging studies (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, AngioTAC and Cerebral Angiography) show an VM, a decision was made to choose an aptitude conservative (symptomatic treatment) and is discharged for follow-up in outpatient consultation where it has remained symptom-free. Conclusions: The MV represents an anomalous but funtional drainage system of the brain, are frequent lesions with low morbidity and bleeding rate, so these should usually be managed, with some exceptions, conservatively.
