Abstract

Objectives The imaging and surgical literature has confusing association rates for the association between sporadic intracranial cavernous malformations (CMs) and developmental venous anomalies (DVAs). In this study, our purpose was to determine the association rate using ultra-high-resolution Carm flat-detector CT angiography (FDCTA) and compare it with literature.
