RESUMEN
Introducción: Las anomalías venosas del desarrollo son las malformaciones vasculares cerebrales más comunes, suelen ser incidentales y benignas, aunque alrededor del 40% se asocian a malformaciones cavernosas, por lo que es esencial buscar otras anomalías vasculares o neurocutáneas asociadas. Caso clínico: Se presenta una mujer de 34 años embarazada que acude por convulsiones y disartria, a la cual se le realiza una resonancia magnética de cráneo urgente. En ella se aprecia el clásico signo de la ‘cabeza de Medusa’, y se concluye como diagnóstico anomalía venosa del desarrollo con trombosis parcial periférica y flujo lento proximal. Conclusiones: La complicación con trombosis de las anomalías venosas del desarrollo es rara y los informes de casos de la bibliografía sugieren que deben manejarse de forma conservadora, como una trombosis del seno venoso, dejando la cirugía para otras complicaciones asociadas. Como radiólogos, debemos conocer las principales características por imagen para elaborar un diagnóstico certero.(AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Developmental venous anomalies are the most common cerebral vascular malformations. They are usually incidental and benign, although about 40% are associated with cavernous malformations, and so it is essential to look for other associated vascular or neurocutaneous anomalies. Case report: We report the case of a 34-year-old pregnant woman who presented with seizures and dysarthria, and was submitted to an urgent cranial MRI scan. She showed the classic ‘Medusa head’ sign and was diagnosed with developmental venous anomaly with partial peripheral thrombosis and slow proximal flow. Conclusions: Thrombosis rarely occurs as a complication of developmental venous anomalies and case reports in the literature suggest that they should be managed conservatively, leaving surgery for other associated complications. As radiologists, we must be aware of the main imaging features so as to be able to make an accurate.(AU)
