AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses two cases of tumefactive demyelination (TD) linked to a developmental venous anomaly (DVA).
  • The authors aim to highlight the connection between demyelinating lesions and venous anomalies, noting that only one similar case has been documented before.
  • Recognizing this lesion as a "do not touch" may help prevent unnecessary and risky treatments like biopsy or resection.

Article Abstract

We present two cases of tumefactive demyelination (TD) occurring in close association with a developmental venous anomaly (DVA). Our purpose is to describe the association between demyelinating lesions and venous anomalies, as only one case of TD associated with a DVA has been published in the literature. Appropriate recognition of this "do not touch" lesion may avoid invasive and potentially harmful procedures such as biopsy or resection.
