Preferred Label : central nervous system venous angioma;
MeSH definition : A vascular anomaly characterized by a radial or wedge-shaped arrangement of dilated
VEINS draining into a larger vein in the brain, spinal cord, or the meninges. Veins
in a venous angioma are surrounded by normal nervous tissue, unlike a CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA that lacks intervening nervous tissue. Drainage of venous
angioma is fully integrated with the body's venous system, therefore, in most cases
there is no clinical signs and rare bleeding.;
MeSH synonym : venous angioma, central nervous system; angioma, venous, central nervous system; CNS Venous Angioma; Angioma, CNS Venous; Angiomas, CNS Venous; CNS Venous Angiomas; Venous Angioma, CNS; Venous Angiomas, CNS;
MeSH hyponym : intracranial venous angioma; cerebral venous angioma; Angioma, Intracranial Venous; Angiomas, Intracranial Venous; Intracranial Venous Angiomas; Venous Angioma, Intracranial; Venous Angiomas, Intracranial; Angioma, Cerebral Venous; Angiomas, Cerebral Venous; Cerebral Venous Angiomas; Venous Angioma, Cerebral; Venous Angiomas, Cerebral;
