Most are asymptomatic and incidentally detected. Here we present a case of DVA associated with venous varix presented with chronic headache. A 50-year-old woman presented with right hemicranial headache since 6 months. There was no neurological deficit. MRI showed a well-defined oval T2 hyperintense, T1 isointense extra-axial lesion in the right parietal region showing intense homogeneous enhancement. Prominent vascular flow void was extending from the lesion up to the deep parietal white matter. Subtle thin linear areas of blooming noted in the parietal white matter converging towards the vascular flow void. The venous sac is in communication with the cortical vein draining to the superior sagittal sinus. These MRI findings favoured a diagnosis of DVA in the right parietal lobe with prominent draining vein forming a cortical venous varix. The patient was managed conservatively with symptomatic treatment for headache.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2018-228067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]],"date-time":"2019-03-12T08:45:31Z","timestamp":1552380331000},"page":"e228067","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Association of venous varix and developmental venous anomaly: report of a case and review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Suprava","family":"Naik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiodiagnosis, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sanjeev K","family":"Bhoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, All India Institute of Medical sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00381-010-1253-4"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.2","first-page":"61","article-title":"MR evaluation of developmental venous anomalies: medullary venous anatomy of venous angiomas","volume":"17","author":"Lee","year":"1996","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00234-007-0279-0"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"797","DOI":"10.1007\/s00234-017-1867-2","article-title":"Sensitivity of susceptibility-weighted imaging in detecting developmental venous anomalies and associated cavernomas and microhemorrhages in children","volume":"59","author":"Young","year":"2017","journal-title":"Neuroradiology"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00588515"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.6","first-page":"85","article-title":"Cerebral varix and probable venous angioma: an unusual isolated anomaly","volume":"4","author":"Meyer","year":"1983","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-3019(84)90447-6"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0730-4862(86)90038-7"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.9","first-page":"373","article-title":"Cerebral varix associated with a venous angioma","volume":"8","author":"Dross","year":"1987","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.10","first-page":"231","article-title":"Giant intracranial varix associated with venous angioma and intracerebral hemorrhage","volume":"12","author":"Maiuri","year":"1990","journal-title":"Acta Neurol"},{"key":"2025082801193207000_12.3.e228067.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1083","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2000.93.6.1083","article-title":"Thalamic venous angiomas draining into a vein of Galen varix.
