Abstract

A rare case of isolated cerebral varix of the left deep sylvian vein was discovered incidentally in an 11-year-old boy by computed tomographic scanning, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and cerebral angiography. MR imaging was most useful in diagnosis of cerebral varix. Review of 21 similar reported cases shows no significant in age, sex, location, or size character.
