Clinical and Arterial Spin Labeling Brain MRI Features of Transitional Venous Anomalies

CONCLUSIONA DVA‐like lesion with increased ASL signal likely represents a TVA with arteriovenous shunting. Our study indicates that these lesions are usually incidentally detected and have a lower risk of hemorrhage than AVMs. ASL‐MRI may be a useful tool to identify TVAs and guide further management of patients with TVAs.
