2.3.1.6 Dural Lesions
Dural lesions can be encountered at any age in children,but represent dif­ferent disease entities. We will describe them in detail (see Chap. 7, this volume), since they can represent true malformations in very young chil­dren and secondary AV shunts in older patients.The former are encoun­tered in neonates and infants and can be diagnosed in utero (Barbosa
2003) (Fig. 2.8). The latter are usually multifocal and contain large sinus­es and high-velocity flow phenomena, but are originally associated with low pressure in the dural sinuses (Fig. 2.9). They become symptomatic during childhood and create remote manifestations on the dural sinuses as well as the cerebral cortex caused by the venous sump effect. Their treatment is particularly difficult.Different types of dural lesions are en­countered with different frequency in various age groups (Scheme 1.3).
2.3.1.7 Telangiectasias
Telangiectasias are usually included in the malformation group and they are occasionally described in children at autopsy. They are likely to repre­sent improper capillary remodeling (see Sect. 2.7.1). They can be sec­ondary to local ischemia or hemorrhage, but are seldom the cause of it (Fig. 2.10).
2.3.1.8 The Blue Rubber-Bleb Nevus or Bean Syndrome
The blue rubber-bled nevus or bean syndrome (BRBN) can produce mul­tiple types of central nervous system (CNS) involvement. These features consist of multiple VMs (venous malformations similar to large telang­iectasias), DVAs (developmental venous anomalies) in supratentorial

brain, cerebellum, and tectum mesencephali (Fig. 2.11). Since its first description by Bean there have been many cases of BRBN manifesting with gastrointestinal bleeding with or without associated hemorrhage. Cases with CNS involvement are rare; many of the reported descriptions are confusing with various terms used to describe them such as capillary venous malformation, hemangiomas, and vascular malformations. The association with DVAs was recognized in some cases but is likely under­estimated because of the use of different nomenclature in the published cases. Although as in Chung’s case (2003) BRBN can be sporadic, its familial transmission is frequent and the link with HHT1 unlikely despite the involvement of the same chromosome (chromosome 9p) (Boon et al. 1994; Gallione et al.1995; see Chap. 8,this volume).
2.3.1.9 Venous Malformations (Cavernomas)
Ve n o us malformations are located outside the nervous tissue and there­fore do not contain nervous or glial elements.They are referred to as be­ing cavernous and can be isolated or multiple. In the latter case, they are often familial with autosomal dominant transmission. These lesions are malformations (Fig. 2.12) and can be found in autopsy series in any loca­tion within the intradural space (subarachnoid,subpial).They increase in size following intralesional hemorrhage. They occasionally have the ap­pearance of a tumor (in particular in children) or a cyst, through conflu­ence of recurrent hematomas.Patients most often present with a hemor­rhagic episodes leading to acute symptoms (epilepsy, sudden headache, deficit, and very occasionally subarachnoid hemorrhage in the case of subpial location or intraventricular hemorrhage in subependymal le-

sions). Different from AVMs in HHT, new cavernomas may become ap­parent, as the disease is potentially multifocal with other microsatellite lesions still too small to be detected with imaging.Subsequent growth is secondary to intralesional hemorrhage, although these episodes may be subclinical (see Chap. 8,this volume).They can be associated with venous anomalies or other malformations such as dural sinus AV malformations (DSMs) (Fig. 2.13) and be induced by radiation therapy.
2.3.1.10 Venous Angiomas or Developmental Venous Anomalies
Ve nous angiomas or developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are ana­tomic variations that can involve one or both hemispheres and be located infratentorially.They do not exist at the spinal cord level or where no sec­ondary germinal matrix migration has occurred. Their symptomatic character is primarily dependent upon associated malformations (AV or cavernomatous). The lack of flexibility due to the extreme anatomic dis­position of the venous drainage to the brain in the region may also pro­duce ischemic episodes manifesting various levels of clinical severity.The venous channels are morphologically normal and drain normally func­tioning brain, although transit time through their venules is sometimes rapid and almost similar to that in a slow-flow AVM. Careful analysis of the venous anatomy always provides the necessary information to make the proper diagnosis. DVAs should therefore never be a target for treat­ment (see Chap.8, this volume).

2.3.1.11 Cerebrofacial Venous Metameric Syndrome (Formerly Sturge-Weber Syndrome)
Cerebrofacial venous metameric syndrome (CVMS, formerly Sturge­We ber Syndrome) consists of cutaneous, facial, port-wine stain (venu­lar malformation), subcutaneous lymphatic malformations (with sec­ondary maxillofacial bone and soft tissue hypertrophy), and cerebral, cortical vein thrombosis with cortical atrophy, secondary angiogenesis, and transhemispheric venous drainage, with or without choroid plexus hypertrophy (Fig. 2.14).The disease is not hereditary.In line with CAMS, Ramli (2003) suggested the name of cerebrofacial venous metameric syn­drome (CVMS; see Chap. 8, this volume). In CVMS, a linkage between various craniofacial vascular disorders can be identified as related to the neural crest/mesodermic segmentation. Involvement of the maxillo­facial and skull base bone, skin, subcutaneous tissue, and vessels are in the same metameric distribution. The facial involvement represents the distal destination of the migrating neural crest cells, contributing to the vascular network rather than the trigeminal dermatome. The cerebral abnormalities when present are also in the same metameric dis­tribution.
2.3.1.12 Induced Pial Shunts
Induced pial shunts are unique in juvenile dural arteriovenous lesions and occur only in children. They develop with the sump effect from the abnormal dural sinus, retrograde to the cerebral vein, with subsequent pial AV shunt formation (Figs. 2.9, 2.15). This observation has been con­firmed by sequential angiographs and spontaneous post-therapeutic re­gression of the induced AV shunts (see Chap. 7, this volume).

2.3.1.13 Spinal Cord AVM
Spinal cord AVMs and spinal cord cavernous malformations present the same characteristics as those mentioned in the brain. Similar to the cra­nial region, spinal arteriovenous metameric syndromes (SAMS) are rec­ognized, enriching the historical description of Cobb’s syndrome (see Chap. 15, this volume). Thirty-one segments to the spinal division allow for single or multimetameric syndromes (Matsumaru et al.1999).
2.3.1.14 General Conclusions on Vascular Lesions
Vascular malformations are multifocal twice as often in children as in adults.This multifocal character has been underestimated in children due to poor-quality angiographic studies and lesions not being recognized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Some can be truly multifocal with in­terposed normal tissue between two AV shunt niduses (Fig.2.16) and sep­arate or distinct draining veins.Others can be contiguous,simulating com­partments within a single lesion. Proof of the presence of these compart­ments is sometimes hard to establish; however, they may represent individual therapeutic goals at the time of endovascular treatment. The most typical is probably CAMS syndrome, which encompasses vascular malformations in adjacent locations such as the optic nerve, diencephalon, and occipital cortex. These lesions may reveal sequentially over several years (as much as 20 years in the cases of Jiarakongmun et al. 2002), illus­trating the effect of the surrounding relationships along the migration pathway on the impaired cells, each region compensating differently (and revealing differently) for the quiescent defect that originated from the ear­ly stages of metameric organization.Some associated lesions cannot be in­tegrated into the CAMS scheme even though obviously linked (Fig. 2.17).

An 11-year-old girl, who had presented at the age of 2 with right proptosis related to an orbital hematoma.Angiogra­phy performed at that time failed to demonstrate any intracranial anomaly.Over a period of 10 years,she developed progres­sive right-sided hemiparesis, dysphasia, and ataxia.Although angiography had been normal at the age of 2 at the intracranial cavity,note the juvenile type of dural arteriovenous shunt and the remote cortical and basal pial arteriovenous communications (single and double arrows) in- duced by the lesion.(From Garcia-Monaco et al.1991c)
Within these multifocal lesions, some may be false AV shunts.Follow­ing hemorrhage or ischemia, the true lesion may induce angiogenesis (neoangiogenesis or capillarectasia) and early venous return. The final appearance is sometimes difficult to understand unless prior angio­graphy had been performed. Interestingly, the number of thrombosed lesions also seems to be more frequent on follow-up of CAVMs in chil­dren.
2.3.2 Proliferative Lesions
Proliferative vascular lesions in children form a distinct group of disor­ders; the name „angioma“ is often given indiscriminately to all apparent­ly congenital, nonischemic vascular lesions. The failure to differentiate between nonproliferative and proliferative lesions has been the source of misinterpretations and erroneous prediction of the course of the disease. The name „angioma“ (vascular growth) should be abandoned or reserved for hemangiomas, which are benign tumors of blood vessel origin in infants (see Chap. 11, this volume). Some hemangiomas can be seen intracranially but such localization is rare and usually associ­ated with superficial hemangiomas (see Chap. 12, this volume). Infant hemangiomas appear to be rare in Asian populations. The older the child, the more likely the angioarchitecture of these vascular tumors will be of the cavernous type. Yet some of them keep a capillary angio­architecture and are called NICH (noninvoluting capillary heman­giomas).
