Vascular venous malformations of the cavernous sinus have multiple imaging features that can be used to distinguish them from other entities in the region. Accurate identification of these lesions is essential: Vascular venous malformation lesions carry considerable risk of intraoperative hemorrhage, so preoperative recognition of vascular venous malformations can greatly impact the treatment strategies used. Nevertheless, because of their scarcity, many radiologists are unfamiliar with the radiologic and clinical features of cavernous sinus vascular venous malformations. This article will describe a case of an asymptomatic vascular venous malformation; outline its imaging, clinical, and pathologic features; and review the relevant literature regarding this diagnosis.
海绵窦血管静脉畸形具有多种影像学特征，可用于将其与该区域的其他病变区分开来。准确识别这些病变至关重要：血管静脉畸形病变术中出血风险较大，因此术前识别血管静脉畸形可以极大地影响所采用的治疗策略。尽管如此，由于其罕见性，许多放射科医生并不熟悉海绵窦血管静脉畸形的放射学和临床特征。本文将描述一例无症状血管静脉畸形病例；概述其影像学、临床和病理学特征；并复习关于该诊断的相关文献。
