Abstract
The authors present a case of a 9-year-old boy who had had generalized seizures of focal onset. Plain skull films demonstrated large nodular dense calcification situated deeply in the left parietal region. Clinical investigations did not detect the nature of the lesion. Serial cerebral angiography showed no specific abnormalities except for postero-inferior displacement of a parieto-occipital branch of the left posterior cerebral artery. The mass was removed and was found to be a venous angioma with extensive calcification and thrombosis. The seizures were well controlled with anticonvulsant and he was discharged without neurological deficits. The reason of nonvisualization of the venous angioma with serial angiography is discussed and the literature describing this rare entity is reviewed.
