Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
A venous angioma was found in a 9-year-old relative of mine in a scan. There is no headache or nausea, and coordination is intact but a little lower. There was some noise in the ear. Is the headache episodic? At birth, there was an injury to the central nervous system, and he did not cry immediately after birth. What is the plan for further surveys?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern that these malformations have been present since birth. As he has no symptoms, the main strategy is to wait and watch, which means following up with a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) every year or two to see its possible progression. Surgery is considered if there are signs of bleeding or increased dimensions. In the meantime, avoiding possible head trauma or straining physical activity is necessary.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
