Abstract

Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are usually asymptomatic. We report a case of DVA thrombosis with recurrent tiny frontal hematoma in a 24-year-old man. The contribution of T2-GRE and SWAN sequences are discussed. Follow-up attested complete recanalization after anticoagulation.

Keywords: Developmental venous anomaly (DVA); Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); Parenchymal hematoma; SWAN sequence; T2-GRE imaging; Thrombosis.
