Abstract
Cerebral venous angioma in the pons associated with pontine hemorrhage in a 39-year-old
normotensive woman was identified with computed tomography and angiography. Venous
angioma in the brain stem is usually silent and rarely found by chance at autopsy.
Only a few cases have been clinically reported. Our report indicates that in unusual
cases of intracerebral hemorrhage, vascular malformations should be suspected and
scrutinized with radiologic examination including angiography.
