venous angioma ?

by heartracer46, Aug 28, 2008 08:49AM
I just found out I have a right parietal venous angioma. I did some research
and it said that they're found incidentally and are usually congenital.
My PCP said it was nothing to worry about becuase they're congenital.. I told him, it has not
been there since birth becuase I have a  MRI report from
12 years ago and it's not on there. Should I be concerned?
No other areas of abnormal enhancement seen on my MRI report.
Can venous agniomas develop over the years? Is it normal to have
one "develop" over the years? They're not all congential are they?
Thanks

Hi,

How are you?
Venous angiomas are congenital lesions although they are thought to be non hereditary. Persons are born with these lesions and do not develop it later on in life.
However sometimes these venous angiomas are not readily visible on MRI at first, they undergo evolutionary changes which makes them visible later on life.
This is probably what must have happened in your case although it is a very rare case.
Hope this answers your question

Thank you very much for easing my mind. I did read this in my research.
Thank you again,
