Abstract：Objective:To study the clinical and iMaging features of cerebral developMental venous anoMalies(CDVA) and review the literatures. Method:Nine cases of CDVA were retrospectively collected froM NoveMber,2011 to March,2014. The clinical features and the iMaging exaMination,coMputed toMography(CT),Magnetic resonance iMaging(MRI)and digital subtraction angiography(DSA),were anlyzed and the related literatures were reviewed. Results:SyMptoMs:Of 9 cases,4 cases with dizzy(4 / 9),4 cases with headache(4 / 9),2 cases with nausea(2 / 9),1 case with astasia(1 / 9). 1 case with history of cerebelluM heMorrhage,1 case with fortuitous findings by ophthalMologic exaMination(1 / 9). Location:Of 9 cases,4 cases with supratentorial lesion(4 / 9),5 cases with infratentorial lesion(5 / 9). IMaging features:The dilated Medullary veins(forMing a typical caput Medusae sign)and collector veins can be showed contrast - enhanceMent CT,reconstruction techniques,contrast- enhanceMent MRI,SWI iMage and venous phase DSA. Conclusion:The iMaging Modalities including CT,MRI and DSA can be eMployed for the diagnosis of CDVA. But the coMbination and optiMal choice of these Modalities for different cases is iMpor-tant to clinical practice.
