Table 1.

Age- and sex-matched controls (ranging from 2 years older to 7 years younger) were selected if there was no evidence of brain vascular abnormalities on CTP ordered for clinical indications listed below.

Age (year); sex Clinical CT indication DVA location and description Figures
Case 1 50; female Right facial numbness Juxtacortical left frontal lobe DVA with a superficial collecting vein Fig. 5Fig. 1
Control 1 49; female Prior increased T2 signal in pons on MRI No abnormalities Fig. 1
Case 2 63; male Carotid bruit preoperative assessment Juxtacortical left frontal lobe DVA with a superficial collecting vein Fig. 3
Control 2 62; male Headaches Mild cerebral atrophy consistent with age
Case 3 64; male Prior abnormal CT scan Subcortical right cerebellar hemisphere DVA with 4 dilated intramedullary veins that converge into a superficial draining vein near lateral right transverse venous sinus Fig. 4
Control 3 66; male Rule out vertebral artery stenosis Mild cerebral atrophy consistent with age. Vertebral artery calcification not causing stenosis
Case 4 28; male Evaluation of a possible AVM identified on MRI Subcortical left parietal region DVA and deep collecting vein
Control 4 21; male History of carbon monoxide exposure No abnormalities
Case 5 29; female History of carbon monoxide exposure Left juxtacortical frontal lobe DVA with a superficial collecting vein
Control 5 29; female History of carbon monoxide exposure No abnormalities

Controls were analyzed to provide baseline values and comparison of case hemispheric CTP values
