Abstract | Background and purpose: The etiology of sporadic cavernous malformations is not well-understood. However, recent evidence suggests that they may arise from a developmental venous anomaly. The goal of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of developmental venous anomalies associated with sporadic cavernous malformations using 7T MR imaging. Materials and methods: We retrospectively identified patients with a sporadic cavernous malformation imaged with 7T MR imaging between August 2019 and July 2022. Two raters determined whether a developmental venous anomaly was associated with each malformation. Results: The study included 59 patients with a total of 61 cavernous malformations. Of the sixty-one, 44 (72%) had an associated developmental venous anomaly. An associated anomaly was most common for cavernous malformations in the brainstem (88%) compared with the cerebral hemispheres or cerebellum (60%-67%). Conclusions: By means of high-quality 7T imaging, most patients with a sporadic cavernous malformation were found to have an associated developmental venous anomaly. These findings support the hypothesis that cavernous malformations may arise secondary to hemodynamic abnormalities. |
