| Summary | Venous malformations are the most common cerebral vascular malformation, frequently associated with cavernous malformation, and rarely accompanied by a varix. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman with tinnitus, whose cranial magnetic resonance images and selective catheter angiograms showed extensive cerebellar venous malformation with cavernous malformations and varix. Injury of vessel walls by increased blood flow in the draining vein of the malformation may have led to the development of cavernous malformations and a varix. To our knowledge, such association with an extensive cerebellar venous malformation has not been reported. |
