Excerpt
The association of cavernous malformations (CM) and developmental venous anomalies (DVA) is common [
1]. A recent study demonstrated an age-related increase in the prevalence of DVA-associated CMs, thus suggesting that some CMs might be acquired lesions [
2]. Unfortunately, very few cases of de novo CMs adjacent to a DVA have been reported in the literature [
3‐
6,
12]. This article presents a case in which serial images demonstrated the evolution of a CM formation in association with a pre-existing DVA, and the causal hypothesis is discussed. …
