Abstract
Venous angiomas have until now been considered a rare vascular malformation. Especially before the era of computerized tomography (CT) they were infrequently diagnosed by clinicians. Nevertheless, they are a relatively common incidental finding at autopsy, representing 16%–59% of all cerebral angiomas and therefore being the second most frequent angiomatous malformations [1]. This indicates that most venous angiomas remain asymptomatic during life. We have performed a retrospective analysis of patients with venous angiomas with the aim of comparing the results and the pitfalls of surgical and nonsurgical management.
