Surgical resection of developmental venous anomaly causing massive intracerebral haemorrhage: A case report

Abstract

Cerebral developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) very rarely cause massive haematoma, but should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical massive intracerebral haematoma (ICH). We describe a case of massive ICH caused only by a DVA and successfully treated by haematoma evacuation with surgical resection of the DVA.
