Cases with documented or suspected developmental venous anomalies were extracted, including a systematic re-evaluation of studies with susceptibility artifacts, to identify developmental venous anomalies not categorized initially as such. Two independent reviewers assessed the number, location, and drainage pattern (superficial, deep, or mixed) of developmental venous anomalies. Associated abnormalities, including varix thrombosis, parenchymal hemorrhage and volume loss, and vascular malformation, were recorded. Developmental venous anomalies with associated abnormalities or multiple developmental venous anomalies were classified as complicated developmental venous anomalies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 3,932 fetuses, 18 (0.46%) had developmental venous anomalies (median gestational age 33\u00a0weeks (IQR, 32, 33); 13 males). Developmental venous anomalies were frontal in 10 (55.6%), parieto-occipital in 7 (38.9%), and parietal in 1 (5.6%); 14 (77.8%) were right-sided. Deep drainage occurred in 8\/18 (44.4%), superficial in 4\/18 (22.2%), and mixed in 6\/18 (33.3%). Two reproducible MRI patterns were identified: the \u201cfisherman\u2019s-rope\u201d sign in superficial frontal developmental venous anomalies, and ventricular-wall T2 hypointensity in developmental venous anomalies with deep drainage. Eight fetuses (44.4%) had a complicated developmental venous anomaly.
